A ticket with MY name on it!

Flights have been booked!

When I woke up yesterday and checked my emails there was a very exciting (and kind of scary) surprise waiting for me.   

Getting the tickets made everything that much more real. I know I say that it gets more real every time something new happens regarding to my trip. When I found out my placement or started getting vaccination it was more real to me, but it doesn’t get much more real than having a plane ticket to Botswana with your name on it. 

The trip is not going to be a quick one but at least I will not have to do it alone. I will be going with Heather and Kyla who are also going to Botswana, so it will be nice to have some travel buddies.

Itinerary

 

We have 12 hours in London which will be nice because we will at least be able to get out of the airport and see a little bit on England. Maybe the excitement from the Olympics this summer will still be in the air? So from London to Johannesburg and then to Gaborone, which is the capital of Botswana where we will be spending the first week or so doing our in country orientation. 

Now don’t worry Mom, my return flights have been booked as well so you don’t have to worry about your little girl moving to Africa just quite yet…. : P  

 

 

For those visual people here’s little map for you.
