Still awaiting news from Denise's contact, Janet as to the final word of when our team will be departing. Word has it, that it may be as early as Wednesday, January 20th or Friday, January 22nd at the latest. There was paperwork to fill out either through the COTN website or via facsimile to Janet. A passport was needed. Good thing I got a passport last year! I needed it to go to Montreal. Thanks, Canada!
Got on the COTN website to download their volunteer paperwork application and got busy filling it out and sending over to Janet. No time to lose and went to different stores to buy several things for the trip. Both Bob and my mother (she's been visiting from California since October seem pretty OK with me going on this trip. Little do they know that I was feeling nervous about this trip. I'm sure they are worried for me as well, but are doing such a great job holding themselves together.
Funny thing is, with all the things that I have been seeing in the news about this tragic earthquake - the uncertainty of what we may be encountering once we get to our destination - I had no thoughts or feelings of backing out. The more nervous I became, the more determined I was on going. I have never experienced this kind of feeling before. Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it as I write this entry.
