We want to hear from you...

We're now hours away from leaving and my mom has called twice tonight begging me to reconsider. There are a few things I wanted to update you on:
The Bombings: Many of you have heard about the recent bombings in India. There were some that went off in Bangalore about 50 miles away. We're planning on avoiding busy markets and big tourist traps.
Write to us: We're going to miss all of you back home. Please respond to our posts and keep us updated! It's always good to hear from home - and it's good to know people read this thing.

We're heading to Singapore....

On the horizon....

9 days....
16 hours...
15 minutes...

It's safe to say that all of us have a mixture of nerves/excitement as our departure approaches. I wanted to make this first post to say THANK YOU to all of those who have supported us with finances as well as those who are sending us their thoughts/prayers; we're all in this together (forgive the High School Musical reference).

I found out today that our showers are "bucket showers" - I'm really excited for that! We'll also be doing some coffee-can laundry. We're about a 20 minute walk from the nearest town where we can connect to the internet and keep you updated often.

Thanks again for everything,
Ben
