Allons-y!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first installment of "Danny Bob's African Safari!" No, I have not gone off the grid quite yet, but the day (September 17) is fast approaching. Just in case anyone has any questions regarding my whereabouts the next few weeks, my itinerary looks a little something like this...

Labor Day Weekend- Fill the car with my remaining worldly possessions and head down to Charlotte, NC to see some of the fam. Catch the Va Tech/ECU game and fill up on some much needed Americana. Return to DC on Monday for my last three days in a cubicle.

September 4- Bid au revoir to my friends/coworkers at the DoD. Proceed to the nearest happy hour joint in Arlington for a few last brews and laughs with the fellas.

September 5- In Fredericksburg for a few days to see the lovebirds (aka Meghan and Chad), trying my damndest to avoid any conversations involving Meghan's favorite topic. I won't say what it is but I'll give you a hint. It starts with the letter "w" and rhymes with edding.

A few days later- Continue south to Charlotte to spend a week or two with the parents, spending most of that time eating all their food.

September 17- Bid adieu to the folks. Fly to Philadelphia for staging.

September 19- Fly out of New York to Douala (via Brussels), arriving sometime on the 20th.

September 20- Your guess is as good as mine:)

As for my whereabouts during the first few months of training, my mailing address is the following:

Dan Archibald
Peace Corps Trainee
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 215
Yaounde, Cameroon

Thanks for checking out the blog, and I hope to provide you with plenty of interesting/funny/thoughtful/bizarre experiences over the next few years.
