We Are There!!
So we are in a hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. We flew from JFK in New York to Dakar, Senegal, and then came straight to Johannesburg. Our flight was delayed two hours. Maybe you heard about it. Some guy in Senegal stowed away in the wheel base as the plan too off. As the plan dropped it's landing gear on it's way to New York, his body parts were dropping all over NYC. So that is why our flight was delayed. So I will be getting a cell phone that you guys can call me on as well.
The number is 09268 631-6083. (the 09268 number is the country code number). PS go to nobelcom.com to get calling cards to call me.
The flight was awful. I didn't sleep all that well and I was in the back of the plane. I began to get frustrated and was punching by seat by the end. I freaked out about a few things too, rereading peoples cards and things like that. But we leave for Manzini, Swaziland Friday morning.
The group is getting cooler and cooler every day and minute. We actually had a small scare already. We took buses all the way from Philly to NYC and we got to the airport then they told this one girl that she couldn't come she wasn't fully cleared for health reasons for some reason. She needed to go home and take care of whatever the problem was. There's a chance she can meet up with us soon though. That was sad, cause everyone bonded with everyone really quickly. It's good group all in all: one girl is from hawaii, one is from India, and everyone else is from all over the States.
Ok, well time is running out tonight. So sorry but i won't be able to update in a long time, but we can all write eachother now. Ok
checking out of the Swaz!!!
