away I go

I leave tomorrow morning at 9:40 am on a 13-hour flight to Dubai, a short layover, and then an 8 hour flight to Accra. I'll arrive around noon on Friday. Accra is on Greenwich Mean Time, which I believe is five hours ahead of the east coast, 6 ahead of midwest, and 8 ahead of the west coast. But they don't observe daylight savings, in which case it might only be 4, 5, and 7 hours, respectively. I hope to get a cell phone asap, and according to my books, there are lots of internet cafes in Accra, so I should be in regular communication. I also hope to be skypeable, but that will depend on my computer getting internet access itself.

Also, here's a picture of a peanut that looks like Jimmy Carter, and some kids:



goodbye, goodbye!
