Today we received our passports with Uganda residency visas as well as our airline confirmation for Sept 30th. Everything regarding letting out the house, utilities, packing up the house, cars, etc has been done. We've had all our immunizations and got our supply of anti-malarials which we've already begun taking. Just the final packing and a few odds and ends to complete.
We are now in the process of saying goodbye to our friends and Danny's relatives and it's been difficult and sad. Both Danny and I are excited about going but are beginning to get a bit nervous as it's sinking in that we really are going.
Probably won't post again until after we arrive in Uganda for our in-country-training.

Hi Danny & Annie,
I saw a documentry last night on TV about some millionaires that went to Uganda and they each invested £15K but had to decide what was most needed to spend it on. I fell asleep before the end but the rich people were so humbled by what they dealt with.
Ugandad looked lovely. I think you are going to fall in love with it and the people there. You will have to learn to say no and you will have to walk away from some things you feel badly about but you can only do so much.
Just know you have friends supporting you from afar. I have a tremendous amount of respect and awe in what you are embarking. I wish you all the best.
Make sure you keep us updated.

Thanks, Cheryl. I've heard from many people who say they loved their time in Uganda.
I think the hardest part will be not being able to do something for each and every person in need, most especially the kids.
Hi Again,
Yes it is going to be hard leaving here and your home but you just wait. In two years time you will have made so many new friends and wonderful memories that you will have equally a hard time leaving there. Bitter Sweet.

From the beginning of this quest the fact that so many volunteers are sad to leave the country at the end of their 2 years was encouraging.
One can never look at their world the same way again.
Good Luck Annie! I will be reading your blog for sure! I wish you both safe travel....
Take care, Susan White
blessings to you both. I will definitely be keeping an eye on your blog for updates. Love to you both!
