I have been waiting for what seems like forever to use this title! The pile on my living room floor has managed to squeeze into my backpack but by the looks of things we are going to have to do some sweet talking to get them to let us take our bags as carry on!!! Lindsay and I met up today to go through our packing lists one last time and it is safe to say that we are both paranoid that we are going to forget something!! The other item that is left to do today is to make flashcards which will help us learn the African language of Fante so that we can communicate with our patients a little bit while we are in the hospital. Sadly our busy schedules have left no time to learn the language up until now but hey! thats what the plane ride is for right? We also found time in the last couple days to get our Canadian flag patches sewn on to our packs! We thought we were absolute geniuses buying iron on patches but it turns out the fabric of our bags is not so compatible with irons so we spent an enjoyable 2 hours stabbing ourselves with needles trying to get those suckers to stay on! The finished product was rewarding! And we also discovered that Lindsay has a knack for stitchery (see first picture for more details). In 22 hours we are making our way to the airport!!! Stay tuned!
