Dream another dream, this dream is over!

Well, I'm sitting here in the peace corps office with the others who are COSing tomorrow (Gilbert, Melissa, and Ami... and honorary Adam who is going to the airport with me).
I finished my meeting with our financial guy and got my ticket in hand, my money in my pocket (oh, and I get a per diem for travel which was handed to me in AMERICAN DOLLARS), and am ready to go. In about an hour I meet with our country director for a final meeting in which she signs our description of service, congratulates me, and I am officially out of the peace corps.
It is SOOOO surreal! All the volunteers are going out tonight to celebrate with a fancy dinner. My bags are packed and while they are going to be overweight (I was originally going to take an extra checked bag for Adam... since he is traveling to China... we were able to get his stuff into my bags and the cost for an overweight bag is less than for an extra bag) they are ready.
The peace corps called a cab for us which will pick us up (us being Gilbert and I... who have flights to paris 20 minutes apart and the same flight from Paris to Atlanta) in the morning and take us to the airport!
So, this is my last post from Jordan and my last post in the peace corps!
I can't believe that in less than 48 hours... I will be home! Can't wait to see you.

Oh... and as a final note... not that it matters... but i got an advanced-low score on my final language exam. A lot of people did better than I did but i am just happy i hit the advanced mark!

Ryan,

If you still check your blog, I'd love to chat with you about your time in Jordan with the PC as I'm hoping to serve there in the future.
