Heading Out

For the past three nights I have had trouble sleeping. I've been falling asleep out of exhaustion between 2 and 3 am and waking up tired but alert by 7! There hasn't been much to do aside from massive iPod updates and the stray errand.

This afternoon I leave for the Los Angeles area where I will stay for two nights before heading to Honolulu and then Majuro on Saturday. Each flight is around 5 hours and there is a very short layover inbetween. I arrive in the Marshall Islands at 3:40pm Sunday, July 16 (they are 19 hours ahead of PST).

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the Dropcash campaign! The total is even higher due to a few payments sent directly to Lisey's paypal account. I'm honored. In LA Lisey and I will do some of the shopping and with the remainder I will purchase supplies in Majuro and help fund repairs for school chairs and desks if needed.

This is my last post from the states, and I will continue updating during orientation, language immersion and training in Majuro. After that, I can only hope that my 'snail-mail' reaches you swiftly.

If you are interested in sending supplies or books please email me (micronomicon AT gmail.com) for detailed information (paper mail after August 10).

If you send a letter, please consider dropping something else inside:
* a sudoku from your newspaper
* a photo of your family/pet/hometown
* your favorite poem
* news article of importance

Thank you! I'll be writing!
