The countdown is officially over. Tomorrow morning, Ryan and I will be heading to the Minneapolis airport where I will depart for my first trip to Kyrgyzstan. It will be Arsin's birthday on Saturday and I'm so glad to be able to spend it with him. Unfortunately, Ryan will not be coming with. Instead, I will meet up with another PAP in New York before my flight to Istanbul, where I will have an eight hour layover.
I am so overjoyed and excited, I can barely contain it. I do, however, need to hunker down and finish my packing. Hopefully I'll be able to post while in country and share some pictures. This blog has been public since it's inception and I have not been able to share any pictures until now.
Here is a glimpse of the birthday boy!!!
