time for an adventure

Tomorrow, August 23rd, I leave for Vietnam. I am excited and nervous and, most of all, ready for an adventure. I told myself that I would probably never keep a blog because I didn't have much that was important enough for the entire internet to read, but now I've got something worthy of keeping a record of. Also, this is the easiest way I can think of to keep in touch with a lot of people at once. I don't know when I'll next have internet access, but I'll be flying into Ho Chi Minh City sometime in the next 48 hours and will spend several days there before venturing on to several cities and making my way to Hanoi where I will be studying at the Hanoi School of Public Health. I can't wait to share my stories with anyone reading them, so if you'll try to keep up, I'll do my best to keep up as well!
