Here's a rough timeline of the events leading up to and following my departure to Morocco:
• train to Chicago on Sept. 5th
• fly out of O'Hare at 7:30 AM on the 6th
• land in Philadelphia, stay in a hotel downtown for two days of "staging"
• on the third day, take a bus to New York City
• fly out of JFK airport nonstop to Casablanca, Morocco
• bus ride to the capital, Rabat
• stay in a hotel in Rabat for three nights
• bus ride to Azrou where 11 weeks of Pre-Service Training will take place
I'll be staying with a host family during most of the training.

My address during training will be:
