Iowa is just 5 weeks away and the packing process has begun however I’m taking a break because I am on vacation until the 21st. I’m visiting family in Florida and wishing my grandfather a happy 95th birthday and then to New Hampshire to say my goodbyes to my friends before I head out.
I got a call from one of the Unit Leaders last week. She said that after reviewing applications that mine stood out and asked if I was interested in becoming a Team Leader. I was definitely interested however that would mean I would ship out on January 11th and I’ll be in Florida. I was honored to be chosen but this time around I decided to stick to a general Corps Member.
I spoke with the person in charge of scheduling travel for Corps Members about my travel to make sure that I would be getting travel from Nantucket and that they realized I can’t just drive to an airport. Many people do not realize that Nantucket is an island that is 30 miles out to sea. Since I am such a “special” case when it comes to travel she will be booking my flight ahead of the others to make sure everything is taken care of. Because of this I think I’ll be headed off the rock on the 14th instead of the 15th so that I can make sure I don’t miss my flight to Iowa instead of potentially getting stuck on ACK.
I think it is starting to hit me that I will be gone until late November and missing a Nantucket summer with all its activities for the first time in my life. This will be the first demo that I’ll miss driving in since I started in 2001. Even though I will be missing out on many things I have done for years now I am embarking on a new adventure and have a great opportunity to help those in need in the United States.
That’s all for now!
