6/16

Hey everybody! I’m on the plane right now and I’m pretty sure I just woke up from a nap J I’m been able to dose off a bit so that is good news! We left an hour late so we are a little off schedule for our arrival Miami. But really that is ok with me because we had such a long layover that it really makes no difference. Last night we were treated to some good old fashion Chicago pizza which was really delicious. It was the first time for deep dish for a little of people! (They’ve sure been missing out). After dinner we went for a small drive around the city to see a few of the sites and what the night life was like. After that most of us went to the hostel because it had been a long day! I went to bed about 12 after repacking my very full suitcases desperately trying to not let my big bag get over 50 pounds. (the good news is that I succeeded:!) We woke up bright an early and all met in the lobby at 830 to be taken to the airport. We had the most chatty driver in the world, she was quite the comedian. At least we were entertained! Once we got to the airport the group split up into 2. 5 of us on American Airlines and 15 on Delta. (I’m on American). One guy is already down there so we will meet him later. I really am surrounded by a great friendly group of people so I’m very grateful for that. We basically just hung around talking until we boarded. I still haven’t heard what region I’m living in even though the other volunteers have. But I’ve been reassured that all is well and sometimes there is just bad communication. So I’ll still be surprised when I get there J I am anxious to se what age group I will be teaching because that makes such a huge difference!

I’m going to go back to reading my book now, thanks to all my friends and family who have called and checked in on me in my first days away! Love you!
