Day 3 June 4, 2004

T minus one hour until we head to the airport. Its actually happening. The many months of waiting and preparing will be put to the test. This morning at 730am we headed to the medical facility to began the grueling process of vaccinations. Today wasn't to bad, but we started our malaria meds today and apparently some side effects are "vivid dreams." Now I am no genius, but I don't think that our first night on these meds should be in a plane having Jim Morrison like dreams. Those poor people around us.

I have had a few people ask me in the last couple days if I am getting more nervous as it is getting closer. The answer is that I actually feel more comfortable and a little more relaxed. It makes a big difference with the support group from everyone here and all the info that we have been given.

So, my friends and family, I will be talking to you tomorrow from Yaounde, Cameroon.

Love all,
Dave

Miss You!

Dave,

It's only been a few hours, but we miss you already. We hope this adventure is all that you seek. Of course, all adventures are a lot of work!

We'll see you in Cameroon before you get back here! Scope out the territory--you're hosting!

God Bless you, brother and friend. Thanks for participating in the BEST work this country does.

Keeping you in our prayers and thoughts,
Don and Jan

P.S. LOOOOONNNNG flights? OK, we'll talk later!!!!

Dave-
I will soon be joining you in your comfort and nerves of this journey. I too am leaving for the Peace Corps. I leave Monday, for San Francisco and on the 9th for Samoa, South Pacific. I always feel a little strange when strangers post on my account, so sorry in advance. Another PCV posted on my page, this is how I ran across yours lj, but your honest entries and loving family and friend support intrigued me, so Im writing to say, good luck, and take care! God Bless.
