Here's what Turkmenistan looks like, in case you have googled it yet:
Remember to check the right side of this page for new links to information about Turkmenistan and the Peace Corps in general.
Packing will be a huge issue. So far I have very nice hiking backpack, a really warm sleeping bag, and a few other helpful things (thanks to Mom, Aunt Susie, and Grandmother!). My dad plans to get me a digital camera, so I'm good there. I updated my wish list on the right for those who still need birthday present ideas. Gift cards to places like Target are also welcome. Honestly, I really don't plan to take much else because I should be able to buy stuff there...and if I can't then it probably isn't critical that I have it. If everyone who currently lives there can manage without it, I believe that I can as well. A really great birthday present would just be hanging out with me before I go. I know that I will miss everyone when I'm gone, so I'd like to spend as much time with the people I care about as possible.

First, the links apear on the right not the left. Second, how big of a world map are we talkin here? Third, what size sock do you wear? Fourth, will you be staying with other volunteers are living on your own?
I think that is every question that I have so far.
P.S. We must fix video chat before you go.
We read your blog. Sounds like New Years was great. I hope our Christmas package gets there before Easter. Ha Ha.
Have fun.
