After a day of travel, we've made it to Peace Corps Staging in Miami, FL. We are now officially Peace Corps Trainees, again. Staging involves preparation to begin service, and we have joined over 30 individuals, from all over the United States, who are all headed to Belize. This afternoon we discussed basic Peace Corps Policies, as well as Peace Corps' Approach to Development and Safety and Security. The information has been the same as our last Staging for Kiribati, but it has been great getting to know the people we will be living and working with for the next 2 years. We have had some good rain, and we even had an unexpected break, when we were evacuated due to a fire alarm. We traveled down 20 flights of stairs and waited patiently for the Fire Department to check things out. It ended up being a false alarm. Just another reminder that when serving in the Peace Corps you must be flexible and ready for anything.
