SouthEast Asia, January 2006

So here's the BIG Katie & Jim Peace Corps News. There were no countries "on our list" (places we're qualified to go) with departures before next year. Our placement officer felt the best option was a country she's in charge of placement for, in Southeast Asia, leaving early January.

She sent us the assignment descriptions. We've decided to go.

Our placement officer cannot officially invite us until August 15, but the position is ours if we choose to accept it.

So, after thinking we were going to have only a month or two to prepare to leave, we have 5! I don't know if that's good or bad...
