Hola Team Inti, family and friends!!
It has been wonderful getting to chat with all of you over the past few weeks, our excitement for the upcoming semester is at an all-time high! From our brief conversations, it seems we have a really strong group, with all of you ready to bring your own passions and strengths to our new community. We are in the midst of staff training in Portland and have been working hard to prepare for our adventure ahead and are sure that you all have been preparing in your own way for this journey in your own ways. We want to encourage all of you to reach out to us, or Heather, if you have any last minute questions that come up over the weekend. We know packing everything you will need for the next 3 months into a backpack can be a fun, but daunting task! We are here to help!
In anticipation of the long travel day en route to Quito, it might be a good idea to pack some extra snacks in your bag, make sure you have a good book or two handy, and maybe a Spanish phrasebook to start practicing! We will be at the LAN ticket counter before the 8:00pm meet-up time and will be on the look out for you all.
We can’t wait to meet you all on Tuesday and get this epic journey under way!
Hasta pronto,
Rebecca & Doug
