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.
