Let the adventure begin...

Our trip is finally here!  Time has flown by, today is the day....we start our travels in just a few short hours from New Orleans to Atlanta, and then Atlanta right into Johannesburg (South Africa).  That last one will be a monster of a flight (15 hours)!  We'll spend the night in Johannesburg & get on a plan the next morning for Swaziland.  We are actually anticipating meeting our supervising physician on that flight as she will be returning to the clinic from a conference in Libya.  We will likely also be greeted on arrival by our Swaziland-experts, Mac & Nancy, who are graciously going to be sure we see the best of their country when we have free time away from the clinic.

We will most likely be updating the blog a few times a week between the both of us, so check back as often as you wish.  Pictures will also hopefully be forthcoming but probably a little less rapidly than the text.

Oh! And the other big news, yesterday was Match Day.  For those of you unfamiliar with that, it is the day where all graduating medical students across the country find out where they will be doing their residency training for the next few years.  Carter & I will both be sticking around New Orleans for a little longer.  She for 1 year of internal medicine before going off to Washington DC to complete her training in neurology at Georgetown, and I for 3 years of training here at Tulane in internal medicine.  It will be an exciting time!
