Pre-Ghana Thoughts

I am writing this blog from New York as I am waiting to board my plane that does not depart for another 5 hours. I guess I have a lot of time. I am ready to go. I honestly feel as if I have been on my way to Ghana for months. I am ready to go. My overall feelings are of excitement. Shockingly, I have no real anxieties or concerns. Still, I had one small lesson that I learned this morning...Never take malaria medications on an empty stomach (even though that is what the prescription says). My morning was dampened by 2 hours of extreme nausea in which I awaited a pewk that never came. I just got the watery mouth and the stomach cramps. Yuck.
