I made my travel arrangements today with the Peace Corps travel agency. I leave on Tuesday, Sept. 7, for a two-day “staging”(aka orientation) in Washington DC. We’ll have an introduction to Peace Corps philosophy, rules, etc., plus get our vaccinations, sign paperwork, etc. And, of course, finally meet in person the rest of the Moldova 14 group!
Thursday afternoon we fly out of DC, and arrive early Friday morning in Amsterdam. We switch to Air Moldova (who knew there was such a thing as Air Moldova?!), and then arrive in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, at 2:40 pm.
So, one month from today, on September 10, 2004, I will set foot in Moldova!
