First Update, Still en Amerique

Quite fortunately, this blog allows me to update via email, which I hope will work continuously during my trip (this is the first test). Given terrible internet access in Cameroon, hopefully this will keep me from wasting time allowing all that blog webpage crap to load up. I won't be able to customize and all, and definitely won't get much picture opportunity. Ah well.
Departure in 6 days. I've been keeping myself awake all night imagining my approaching experience. Most of my preparations are taken care of for now, so I'm just sticking to tv and laziness, the American way.
Maybe another posting before I go, but if not, then you'll here from me once I'm abroad.
