The Start to an Amazing Adventure

Hi Everyone-

As most of you know, I'm heading off to Kenya on Monday. Michael Jones is coming with me and we're flying from Nashville to New York to London and finally to Nairobi. Unforunately Abraham did not receive all of the needed paperwork in time to be able to leave next week. Hopefully, he will receive it in the next few weeks and meet us there. Now, Michael and I are looking to spend time at several orphanages for HIV positive children and also spend time in Kibera, which are the slums of Nairobi.

We're also hoping to travel around the country making our way to the coast, climbing Mt. Kenya and of course going on a safari. We'll be there for 7 weeks, returning on Thanksgiving Day.

I'm planning to use this blog to communicate back home and share some of my experiences as well as some of my photos. I feel so blessed to be able to take this once in a lifetime opportunity. I know it will be truly fulfilling.

This week leading up to my departure has brought a mixture of emotions: fear, excitement, nervousness, anxiety, and lots and lots of butterflies.

Send me an email every once in a while (jenniferlynnprice@gmail.com) and keep in touch these next 2 months.

I love you all and look forward to sharing my journey with you through this blog.
