Gamarjoba!

I am in Tbilisi, Georgia! We arrived Tuesday afternoon and have been staying at a hotel outside of the capital in the mountains since then.

Today is Saturday and We are headed to the Borjomi area to meet our host families we will have for training! I am nervous and anxious to meet them! I know a few words now, but will definitely be consulting my dictionary they gave us multiple just today I have a feeling. yikes!

The landscape here is gorgeous! The city is built into the mountains and hills, and it is literally majestic...there is no other way of describing it! :)

The food has been wonderful, lots of amazing vegetables and the bread is going to be the death of me because I absolutely love it!

I shall post as soon as I have access as my new family's home!

Bon Voyage USA

I have met all my fellow trainees and we are all sitting in JFK (in one of the nicest terminals ever) waiting to go! A 2 hour bus ride from Philadelphia to NY, 5 hour wait in the airport, 10 hour flight to Istanbul, 3 hour layover, 2 1/2 hour flight to Tbilisi, Georgia, and a jump 10 hours into a future time zone is all we have between us and our final destination of Georgia!

The anticipation, excitement, fear, sadness, shock, and indescribable happiness are all mounting as we enter the countdown to boarding.

This is my first and last post from the States for the next 27 months!!!
