I'm at the airport waiting to board my flight to Atlanta where I'll meet up with Gail. Yesterday I was really nervous about the trip, but today I feel good--definitely excited, but relatively calm. It helps that sitting in the airport waiting for the flight is the most relaxing thing I've done for weeks.
I'm so excited about everything we're going to see and do on this trip! The music we are going to play is fantastic, I'm excited to meet all the people I've been communicating with by email for the last several months, and I'm just plain excited to be in Africa. It's my first trip there, not counting an afternoon in Morocco, way back in my Spain days.
