Almost ready!

Wow! I can't believe I'll be in the rainforest of Puerto Rico in just a few days! I spent this past weekend looking over my packing checklist to make sure I have everything I need. I will be taking lots of extra socks and t-shirts... I don't want to be walking around in wet clothes. I'll need to use my BIG suitcase!

I have been looking online to learn more about the rainforest and the coqui (tree frog). Here are a couple of good websites I found:

Eye on the Rainforest (Info. about the place where I'll be staying and working)

Coqui tree frog (About the coqui)

You can also learn more about my expedition by clicking on the links under the map on the right side of this page, or by clicking here: Earthwatch Expedition

I am getting so excited for this adventure! I hope you'll check in on me to see what I'm doing... you can post comments and questions, and I'll answer you!

Hi, Carrie! I am so excited for you and we miss you! Wanted you to know Roxy and I are great! She is missing you but having a blast in Flagstaff with Tank. I'm taking lots of pictures so I'll e-mail them to you when I get home Mon or Tues. Hope you got your luggage -- I was worried! Roxy is so good and I even went shopping today and bought her a new t-shirt -- it's colder up here, you know! I love reading about your adventures! Can you get e-mail? I'll write again tomorrow or Tues.
