The Countdown Begins!

I leave for Belize in 60 days - on March 23, 2010! I'm beginning to make lots of preparations and setting up this Blog is a major accomplishment!
My Dad is currently visiting me here in Florida. We will drive back to Dayton, Ohio next month where I will say good-bye to my wonderful family and many friends. Everyone has been so supportive, and many people have promised to visit me in this beautiful country while I'm gone.
I have contacted other Peace Corps workers who are currently in Belize and feel as though I already have friends there. Yesterday, I received an email that the person who will be responsible for our three month training period is holding a Teleconference call on February 2, with all of us who will be going to Belize. She will give us details and answer questions we have. How many of us are there? Where do we go for staging? What is staging anyway? What will we learn in training? Will we have internet access and telephones, or have to dig our own latrine?
Feel free to send your questions so I'm prepared for the call.
So, here we go on what will no doubt be an incredible adventure!
