Day 1 - The Journey Begins

Hey guys!

Well I'm currently in Washington D.C. killing time during my 15 hour layover. I thought it would be boring here, but when I arrived there were hundreds of suitcases lined up near the carousels with frustrated travelers browsing the rows for thier bags.

United Airlines' luggage tracking system crashed this afternoon and it's quite entertaining. I'm outside security at the baggage claim which means that all the people out here are headed home as soon as they get thier bags. My guess is that the guy in the blue polo really, really wants to go home and isn't opposed to causing an embarrasing scene for his wife. It's funny. There are a select few that belong to a highly exclusive group in this country that are able to become more intense at an airport than my dad.. They are having a convention tonight.

The shops inside the terminal are closed so I'm chillin outside the checkpoint with my DP. There's not a whole lot to talk about but I figured I'd make a post since I'll be on a plane for the next couple of days. I'm looking forward to being able to post pictures to accompany my text.

I'll be flying Ethipoian Airlines. I hope we get seats... I let you know.

Hey mom. I'm still alive. :)

Later!


Oh and in case you're interested, here is a map of where I will be:
A close up of the country will show you where Mwanza is (i'm flying into Arusha):
And here is a satalite photo of the health center with some descriptions:
