Only One Week Left!

This is the boring post where you read it and think "why did she write that, she hasn't even left yet."  But I don't care, you don't own the internet!
In just one week we are flying out to Uganda, we'll have two layovers: one in  Zurich and one in Istanbul.  There are a lot of things going through my mind. I have never been on an airplane before, or even inside an airport. So I'm terrified I'm going to walk in there and be confused and then trampled by the travelers who actually know where they are going.  I'm also going over a long lost of things in my head... such as:
1. What if I forget something essential, like pants or shoes and I have to go two months in Africa with only one pair of pants. (My concern is a sanitation issue, not a style issue)
2.  Exactly how long will it take for Tim to get Malaria, my guess, 2 weeks.
3. What if I get Malaria, that will be significantly not enjoyable
4. What if I get there and cry and cry and beg my mom to bring me home like a little ten year old at summer camp.  
5. What if I find myself useless and end up wondering the streets of Uganda like a vagrant at a train station.
6. What if I have the best time and ever decide to say screw you to my old American life and relocate to the wondrous world of Africa for good.  
There are so many things going through my mind. But mostly I keep reminding myself that two months isn't that long.  I'm sure that the first week I get there I will be anxious, the second week excited, the third week lonely and wanting to go home, and the fourth week finally adjusted.  And somewhere between the fifth and eighth week Tim and I will have an epic fight that will surely kill one of us.  But hey, if that happens, at least it will be Africa and no one will ever find the body or be able to prove that I had anything to do with it. (just to clarify: I have no plans to kill or cause bodily harm to Tim) 

In all seriousness... I know two months isn't that long, but I'm going to miss my friends and family a lot, but most of all,  I'm going to miss hot showers.
