It's Happening

My plane ticket is officially booked! 

I'm leaving for the Philippines on August 22nd. Fortunately, I am not traveling alone! I am meeting up with Margaret Clinch in Detroit. It's going to be a long journey to get there. I'll be leaving from DC at 9:30am on Thursday and arriving in Manila at 10:45pm on Friday!

So this makes it all real. It's happening. It's really happening. I'm going to the Philippines!
