So I'm in Philly for pre-Departure Training. Turns out there are 61 of us going to Botswana. Of those with my job title (District AIDS Coordinator) there are 16.
Thanks to our facebook group it was almost like old home week for many of us.
Tomorrow we fly.
Man, I have to keep this updated! My name is Mike Wigal. Now I'm 64 and live in Petaluma, CA sharing an apartment with my son, Mick, and granddog Luquillo. I still travel a lot and ponder a lot. I hope to share this journey with you if I can get over my laziness and temptation to post my rapier-like wit on the hated Facebook instead of here. Welcome!

Dear Mike -
What a fabulous story -- and a new adventure on its way!
I will always wish you the very best.
(hummm sounds like a commercial....)
Happy Trails and Rewarding Hard Work --
Much love,
Janet R.
