Saturday was the Bon Voyage party. It was pretty low-key. I finally made the mental connection and realized this person I have met (multiple) times is the same guy that my recruiter told me about months ago. This guy is a Mongolia RPCV (AKA returned volunteer) who lived in a tent for two years. He had to burn horse dung and tires to stay warm. I really cant imagine living through a -40 degree winter at all, let alone in a tent. I'm nervous about having to boil my water before drinking it... he had to MELT SNOW to have water. I hope being a PCV turns me into that much of a badass. I also hope he never reads this overly-enthusiastic-awe-inspired entry.
This weekend I kicked the packing into high-gear and actually started putting things in the duffel bag I'm bringing with me. I have to be ready to leave this weekend because of all the traveling I will be doing.
A week from tomorrow is Hank's last day in Gainesville. On my way to Stuart I am dropping him off at Rory's. That is going to be a sad day. I don't remember what its like to sleep without a dog snoring so loudly I have to have a pillow on my head. I guess that sound will soon be replaced with roosters or neighbors.
In closing, I'm worried I won't have room for my pillow in my bag. Sad day.

awww, I'm sad you have to leave the doggy, I'll be having to leave my kitty behind too, so I feel you :(
As for your pillow--maybe try one of those vacuum pack things that sucks it flat, but when you get it out it inflates all over again. I did that with a lot of my coats/sweaters/bulky stuff when packing 2 and from my 6 week stay in China....I got mine at target, but I'm sure any packing store would have better ones
You can leave that uncomfortable thing with me
