It is the day before the first leg of our journey. Tomorrow, 11/18/2008, we leave for Cincinnati. We are done packing, and eagerly await departure. We attempt to contain our emotions, but inside my mom and I can't wait for tomorrow. Madagascar is going to be an amazing place. It'll be like a whole different world. We are going during the rainy season, when it rains every day and the lemurs are out. There will be no electricity, or running water in some of the smaller villages, which makes it somewhat scary. Not all of the places we visit will be like that, Antanarivo has over 3,100,000 people, and Tulear and Antanarivo have airports.
