I’ve been waiting too much today! The flight from Detroit to Atlanta was good; I thought it was a little bumpy though. Right now I’m sitting on the plane and we will be leaving soon for South Africa! I have to get ready for 15 hours of sitting! I’m planning on listening to music, reading, using my computer and sleeping! There are many types of people on this flight. I wonder if a lot of people are going for vacation in S.A or if they live there. The two gentlemen sitting by me are speaking a different language, I later found out it was indeed Afrikaans. It still feels surreal that I am going away for two months. I am looking forward to meeting new people, tasting new food and learning a TON about the education programs in South Africa.

Almost there! From Atlanta to Johannesburg it was about 8,100 miles. Wow, the flight was very easy! We only have one and a half hours left and I watched one movie and slept the majority of the time. We just flew over Namibia and Botswana! It’s only 11:15am back in Stevensville, but it is 5:15pm here in South Africa. When we arrive at our destination, it will be around 6:15pm. I am so excited. I can’t wait to meet my students, see the school I will be teaching at and meet Professor Baxen! All for now =)
