Saturday - The Night Before

Well, it’s the night before the flight. I take off first thing in the morning (Sunday)…all packed and BOY is there a lot to take from batteries to extensions cords, lighting kit (thanks Usman) to microphones, oh and of course a couple head scarves. I also had a few requests for items not available there so that left VERY little room for clothing, a couple pairs of pants and shirts does me. How am I going to carry it all?

I haven’t had much time to let any worry or second thoughts sink in as I have been so busy organizing my game plan. Four orphanages in Kabul, three in the eastern provinces, a possible woman’s prison and a couple Afghan aid organizations…plus all the general B-roll of the country and people in roughly 25 days…all by myself…during Ramadan…I’m about as crazy as those Taliban folk.

Bright and early Monday morning we are off to a refugee camp to distribute supplies to over 1000 families. What a terrific way to kick start the journey. I will write more once I get back from that experience...Good night. I wonder what tonight's dreams will bring...
