back at the beach

I am now back in my "hometown" to spend what little remaining time I have with my family. So far it has been very nice and relaxing and most of all fun (especially dressing the dog up in a banana costume, hahaha).

Today I got my flight itinerary. I fly to Hotlanta at 7am Thursday May 31st. The next two days will be spent in intensive orientations and then on June 2nd I will hop a plane to Mongolia (via Korea ^_^). At 15 hours this will be my longest flight ever!

I also started shopping for everything I will need to bring O_o. I know I'm excited about the cold freezing absoballyloutly frigid climate I am about to face...but its a pain to shop for especially when the summer lines have just come out and are just swell. Oh well, thank goodness for L.L. Bean giving me the long john hookup or my tush would be in for a cold 2 years ^_~.

Also I received my address for the 8-10 weeks I will spend in Ulaanbaatar training:

Cassandra Weiner, PCT
Post Office Box 1036
Central Post Office
Ulaanbaatar 13
MONGOLIA (via China)

Once I scan it to the computer, I will put up a link to the label that has the address in Cyrillic (the Mongolia Alphabet). "Items will be delivered if addressed only in English - however, an accompanying Cyrillic version may expedite delivery."
