western visayas

i finally got my assignment, the year of saying i don't know to all of your questions is over!!!!! i am going to the western visays, with the most wonderful group of people -- everyone is so much fun. the western visayas are supposed to be the most beautiful islands in all of the philippines -- i'll let you know on wednesday -- that is when we fly out. i have a cell phone, i have emailed everyone with my number, so use it. if you didn't get it email me. we went to the us embassy yesterday, met with the us ambassador, and all of his staff -- they gave us alot of security warnings (nothing bad). I am still having the best time, it is going to take a while to get used to the crazy driving. they have no traffic lights, signs or laws for that matter -- and they get in way less accidents than we do, go figure!! have more shots today and typhoid meds, malaria meds, hep A & B shots, Japaneese encephilitis, rabies, and more tomorrow. lots of people have gotten sick - our bodies are on overload. tonight is our last night as a group, so everyone is planning to go out - we fly at 4am - so good luck to us all!!!!!!
