In exactly 48 hours I will on a plane, heading to my final destination of Cape Town, South Africa. I've done quite a bit of preparing...preliminary packing, getting all my duck in a row and most everything taken care of. After worrying that my dog my actually have no home for a week, last night a sweet new friend offered to give him a home for the week. All in all, I think I have everything done that I can before I leave....except maybe ONE more run to target (I think this will be the 5th time this week!).
There is one part of me that I have no idea how to prepare though...as cheesy as it sounds, I have no idea how to prepare my heart in all of this. My dear old roomate Murielle said that when she got off the plane in Cape Town, it was her first experience stepping onto African soil. And the interesting part is that when you get off the plane there, you don't step into a concourse like an American airport...you step right onto the actual ground. She said for her, that there was this crazy moment of knowing that you've been waiting for this for a very long time, and finally it was coming to be.
I think it's going to be like that. I couldn't sleep last night (like usual this week) and so I grabbed an old journal from 3 years ago and starting poking through. Since it all started probably 3 years prior to that, my dreams about going to Africa were fully realized at that point. I have specific entries talking about my hopes of spending time in South Africa working with AIDS orphans and doing photography.
This trip has taken on an interesting tone in that I'm "scouting" for so much more. I think it's my blind date with South Africa :).
(Maybe it's been more like online dating.... I mean I've at least seen pictures. Haha....after all my standing on a pedastol and talking about how online dating is going to be the end of society as we know it.)
Anyway, I doubt many people even check this anymore, since I'm so infrequent at writing. But I type faster than I write, so this seemed like a good mode to get my early morning thoughts out.
48 hours.
Wow.

I'm interested in trading currencies with a FOREX account, but I've also heard plenty of bad things about numerous companies. Does anyone know which company has the best reputation for FOREX trading?
