Countdown

September 6th... it approaches.

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. After the 11 weeks my job site will be determined, meaning I'll travel to a new location and stay with another host family for a bit of a "settling in" period, after which I will find my own digs and begin working. My address during training will be:

Nathaniel Krause
s/c Corps de la Paix
2, Rue Abou Marouane Essaadi
Rabat 10100, MOROCCO

In the meantime, I'll be spending time with friends and family, studying my Moroccan Arabic flashcards, and figuring out how to pack for a 27 month trip.
