Packing up

Well, it's finally time to ship out. Tomorrow night I fly to London, then on to Accra, Ghana's capital.

At the moment, I'm in Washington, DC, in the final throes of preparing for the journey. Those who know me know how much I love packing (not!). My big challenge today is getting all my camera gear in order -- a lot of gadgetry for someone who likes to travel light.

I'll arrive in Accra on Sunday night, the night of Ghana's Independence Day . Hopefully there'll still be some celebrating going on so I can catch a glimpse of the big holiday.

I'm planning to hit the cybercafes of West Africa throughout my travels and update this blog, so stay tuned...

Meanwhile, here's a link to info on my fellowship program.

And here's a bit about Ghana.
