It seems fitting to write a blog just as the new year is starting. Sitting in the trauma icu with all my co-workers watching the ball drop and realizing that we didn't even have sparkling grape juice seems sad. It's easy to forget that a year ago I was getting ready to head to Togo to join Mercy Ships, 6 months ago I was heading out to Vietnam on a medical trip, and 4 months ago I was traveling around Alaska. 2010 was kind of amazing. Not to be outdone 2011 looks to be pretty good also. In 13 days I'm leaving again for the other place that seems like home. I'll be joining Mercy Ships in South Africa and then sailing to the field service in Sierra Leone. A country that not so long ago was in a civil war, and ranks as one of the poorest countries in the world. The difference this year is that instead of 8 weeks (my two previous mercy ship trips) I'll be there for 7 months. It already doesn't seem long enough.
The next two weeks are going to be busy.
Thanks for following along with me on this new adventure.
