Peace Corps here I come

Hi, and welcome to my journey for peace (Peace Corps that is) - setting sail August 19th for the Philippines. I will be working as a Coastal Resource Management Extension Worker (also referred to as CRMer) for the next 27 months there. This is my first shot at keeping a blog so bare with me, but I hope to be able to share my experiences with friends and family and anyone else who cares to read....
