Welcome

Well here I am.

Checking and rechecking my to-do and packing lists, I attempt to prepare myself for the next step. After applying about year ago, the day has finally come. I leave this Monday (September 25th, 2006) for Miami. After a broad "Welcome to the Peace Corps" 3-Day Orientation, I catch my next flight to Paraguay for 3 months of training and then 24 months of service.

Hopefully with this online journal (Blog is such a strange word) I can keep everyone up to date on my service. I kept one last summer (Australia/New Zealand) and it ended up being a great place to document my trip and stay connected.

I hope to keep this site interesting and somewhat entertaining so it's worth checking out. With my new digital camera I can post pictures and short movies. I think I'll have my fair share of stories and (bad) jokes to at least make it enjoyable to read. For example, here's a movie I made to help document what my siblings and I are all doing in our lives. This isn't my first movie (http://media.putfile.com/San-Diego-200653), but I think it's a good way to start this journal:



During training you will be able to write me at:

Sorry this message is so brief. I'll put more up when I get the chance.

Thanks for reading.

Casey
