I'm taking my finals early and going on an adventure.
What I know: I leave in less than a month. We hit a bunch of countries in the Caribbean and South America. The medical volunteers do somewhere around 5000 surgeries in the 4 months we're traveling. The USNS Comfort does amazing things.
My mom was invited to go for a rotation to give her medical expertise {for the month of May}. She gave me the email for the lady in charge on Sunday after she told me my plans to go work in Europe on a farm were faulty. The coordinator wrote back and said all the non medical volunteer positions were full. Thursday night I got an email asking if I was still available. Of course. Five minutes later {no joke} she had emailed back to let me know I was in and I was filling out forms and getting my flights.
More details when I know some myself. Personally I'm good with the little details I have. All I really care about is I'm going to be a part of something that is changing lives and know it will change mine too.

The best part is Mommy in May! Mother's Day aboard a medical ship serving the disadvantaged. You could make something of that. Way to live by the seat of your pants. As always, take lotsa pictures!
