how does one write to the other end of the earth?

Hi again, friends!

Well, this is becoming more and more real. As I sit home and pack weird stuff (headlamps, handcrank flashlights, a solar battery charger, skirts, etc), I get more and more excited about the adventure that awaits me.

Regardless of the amazing experience that is ahead, I can't help but think how much I'm going to miss home. I know that I'll have to put the phone away soon and that itself will be quite the adjustment. I'm hoping that everyone will write as they've promised. I'm eager to share my experiences so I'll be sure to put the quill to the parchment often!

Below is how you will be able to reach me for the first 3 months (mid-Sept to mid-Dec). They say that small envelopes and parcels sent airmail from the United States generally arrive in Port Vila in one or two weeks. Surface mail takes around three months.

Looking forward to corresponding the old fashioned way!

ARE postcards of beautiful Arizona acceptable forms of communication?

Skirts? Things really have gotten weird!

I'm dying to hear all about it - I hope you're keeping an old-fashioned journal too.

Love,
