Staging in Atlanta

We're now official "trainees" and have met the 35 other volunteers in our group. So far my first impressions are very positive. We have a very diverse, accomplished, self-confident group. Best of all, there are 3 other "older" couples besides ourselves, so we're not alone in that regard. There's also 3 other "returnees", so again, we'll have much in common. Also, there's several more other older single volunteers - one of whom went to Northwestern Univ. just 4 yrs. after Mike and was in the same frat. - Fiji. Small world. Peace Corps put us up in a Wyndham hotel - quite luxurious by peace corps standards. So, we've had our "lasts" - last night in a kingsized bed, last hot shower, last Mexican dinner, last night in airconditioning, etc. etc. Still, we're so excited and ready so see what Swaziland will bring. love to all of you back home.
