SEVEN Days. Yes, Seven.

This time next week I will be in LA awaiting my Peace Corps adventure!

I officially have a pair of chacos, a lifeproof case, and a hammock (compliments of my parents)!

My address for the first 10 weeks will be as follows (I believe it will change..stay tuned)!

Bailey Bollinger, PCT
Peace Corps
PO Box 147
Nuku’alofa
Kingdom of Tonga
South Pacific

People have also asked what things to send and that is also something that I will have to get back to you on, but to list a few things I love/my kids will love: oreos, peanut butter, books, stickers, candy, or really anything you want to send!

Thanks for all the love and support. Come hug me this week. It is going to be a long two years if you don't :)

Four Weeks

Hello friends, 

Yesterday marked four weeks until my departure to the Kingdom of Tonga. I am SO EXCITED! On September 1, 2014 I will be leaving KC at 3:20 and will be arriving to LA at 4:50. From there I will be spending the night in LA and participating in one day of training. I will then be settling in for a 12 hour flight to Fiji. A few days will be spent in Fiji and then off to Tonga. During my two years abroad you will be able to keep up with me through this blog (knowing me I am sure it will be filled with a lot of unusual/funny stories that would only happen to me). As soon as I get my address I will post it. All letters and packages will be greatly appreciated! You can also email me at baileykbollinger@gmail.com or Facebook me! 

Anyways here is the Kingdom of Tonga on a map!

 

And here is a tropical view of Tonga 

Love you all <3
