Packing again (just for a few days away)

Learning about what things are like in the community today because our community stay starts tomorrow. I'm still not unpacked and settle in. I have a lot more than any others because I'm coming with my stuff from Cape Town, because I’m older, and because I’m comitted long-term to Africa and some of the others are just short term. I've been travelling now for weeks because of Cape Town, California, and the NY trip I took shortly before I left, and now they want us to go to the community for four days and I'm not even feeling settled and taking off again. I wish this was later in the orientation, at least after I was settled in. Lots of emailing to catch up on too, people don't even know I've arrived safely yet and I'm taking off on another trip.
