Address in Swaziland

I'll be getting on a plane in a few hours, so this is the last chance I'll have to update the blog for a while or even be able to access the internet at all, most likely.  I won't have a permanent address in Swaziland until after the 9 weeks of training are over, but any mail can be sent to me through the Peace Corps office.  The address is:

Noah Joseph, PCV
PO Box 2797
Mbabane H100, Swaziland
Africa

T-minus 5 days

On Monday, June 6, I will fly from Traverse City to Philadelphia for a quick one-day orientation.  I'll meet the other Peace Corps volunteers who are going to Swaziland, and we will all fly out together the morning of June 8, taking a 15-hour flight from JFK to Johannesburg, South Africa.  After that will be a bus ride into Swaziland, and the start of our Pre-Service Training (PST).  I'll be living in a dorm at a teacher's college in or near the capital of Mbabane for five days before being placed with a host family for the remainder of PST.  I'll find out where I will spend the rest of my 27 months close to the end of the 9 weeks of PST.
