I am sitting in the JFK airport, with 60 other Peace Corps trainees, waiting to board the flight to Casablanca in a couple of hours. We just finished 2 days of "staging" in Philadelphia, where we spent hours on end discussing various aspects of being a successful Peace Corps Volunteer. There was not too much new information, but I imagine it makes logical sense to allow the trainees 2 days to recover from the huge leaps of faith they just took, before boarding the plane to Morocco. I cannot even imagine the 60 of us all saying good-bye to family at the same time at the same place. We would be a wreck!
The group is fabulous- we have old (50+) trainees, and young (me) trainees, married trainees, basically trainees of all shapes and sizes.
We are ready to embark on this great and adventure into the unknown!
