Test run

Just procrastinating on packing right now and trying to see if I can really set up this blog dealie... but I'm excited about voting in a historic election tomorrow morning, then heading straight for the airport for 5 weeks in South Africa! I'll be traveling for a week, then working for a month in Edendale hospital in KwaZulu-Natal ("K-Zed-N") province. I'm sure I'll learn a tremendous amount but less sure that I'll be bringing much to the table there. I'm curious to see how (if) my training in the opulent American health care system translates in a resource-poor setting.

I bet as an American in Africa, I'll be better received if Obama wins...

Anyway, more to come from the road! Won't have much internet access during the vacation portion of my trip, but I should be able to blog a bit more once I get to KZN. Stay tuned! I'd love to hear from you while I'm away.
