Today should mark the end of my time in South Sudan; provided the flight leaves here as scheduled.

We've battled through some significant technology problems, and delays in moving around the country.

I had hoped to post many more pictures here while in Sudan, but the limitations of Internet access on my laptop, as well as lack of available electricity to keep it running, made this very difficult.

When I get back to the states in 30 or so hours (fingers crossed), I'll begin posting more pictures and information.

So although I may be leaving Sudan, I'm far from done with this blog.

When the trip is done, I will have traveled nearly 20,000 miles by plane and truck.

I've made more than 500 exposures here in three cities and villages.

I interviewed many people; including one of the South's most influential governors.

With the trip wrapping up, I'm shifting my focus to distilling all the information I've collected into several different packages.

There was no in-seat power available on the flight over here, but if there is on the way home, I'll start working tonight.

And so, for now, I'm signing off. I'll be in touch here again when I arrive in the states.
