Home again

Hey all,

Just wanted to write you a quick note and let you know that I'm back in the states after an over 40 hour journey. I'm now in Boston, hanging out for a few days with my dad and brother, celebrating todd's 21st birthday. My final couple of weeks in Africa were amazing, and were filled with many goodbyes, farewells and see you later's. I was reminded how horrible I am at goodbyes, and just how much I will miss all of the people and places I've come to know. The group I went over with were my family while I was there, and I am really going to miss their daily presence in my life. The last day before we left we all went out snorkeling and swimming, and for one last lunch together on our sandbank. On the way out to the snorkeling spot, we spotted a few dolphins swimming alongside our boat off in the distance. Needless to say, it was pretty much a perfect way to end our trip, and reminded me again at how fortunate I've been to have this opportunity. Once I get home I'll be able to post a bunch of pictures, but for now, I'm signing off. Thanks to all of those who followed me through my journey, your support is appreciated more than you know.

thanks all,
laila
