Greetings back home from America’s capital!
After waking up at an ungodly hour this morning, I arrived
at the Ottawa International Airport to board my flight to Washington. After
mapping my way through the Metro system (during which I found my-self inexplicably
lost for what turned out to be a relatively simple and straight-forward
transportation system), I was finally reunited with the LetsStopAIDS team. It’s
pretty fun to find that three of the four representatives that attended the
last conference in 2010 have returned with new stories to share.
Straight upon my arrival, I was put right to work. From
preparing poster boards for our photo exhibit to researching for panel
presentations, today has been the most significant and productive time our team
has had to work together on getting everything ready for the conference. At this
point, I think everyone’s empty stomachs and wrinkled brains can agree that we’ve
had enough for today and are ready to call it in.
Aside from having to wake up at 7am tomorrow morning to get
our photo exhibit ready, I’m overwhelmingly excited for tomorrow. The opening
ceremonies for Vienna’s 2010 conference were the highlight of my experience and
I can’t wait to see what Washington has in store.
Love from us Canadians visiting our neighbors to the South,
Tracey K
