Hi everyone!!! Sorry it has taken so long to blog! We are living about an hour from the internet cafe- so we've only been one time thus far and my circa 1980 computer wasn't letting me post anything. However...we are doing great! The trip has been so much fun. The group (Nancy, David, Audrey, Torie, Conley, Jordanne & Jake) is having a great experience. There's so much that has happened but I will try to give a thorough update . To start us off, we had some trouble leaving the ground in Tulsa...which believe it or not made us miss ALL our connecting flights. We did make it to Atlanta for the night and Delta put us up (in our own rooms)!!! Then we left the next morning for New York knowing we weren't going to make our international flight to Dubai. So, we had a night stay in Queens, NY. We arrived around 3pm so we took the train into Times Square and had the best time. We walked around, ate at Hard Rock Cafe, took tons of pictures in the middle of TS & of course drank milk and ate our last cookies!!! Then we flew out the next morning for our 14 hour overnight flight to Dubai. We were on Emerites airlines- the nicest plane anyone had ever been on. Torie was the only one that slept the whole time- the rest of us played games on our TV screens and called each other from seat to seat. We BARELY made our Dar Es Salaam flight out of Dubai (about 10 mins to get there) and made it into Tanzania safely. Then we had about an hour layover before heading to Mwanza where we are now. Chris Gates met us here (and after cramming in and the car not starting) we drove another hour to the village where we are staying!!!
Hujambo!!! From Mwanza, TZ, East Africa
