Just Getting Here
Well things have been pretty good so far. When I got in the shuttle to go from the Philadelphia Airport to the Hotel, another guy from my group was already waiting inside the van. We talked the whole way to our Hotel, and then found out we were roommates as well. It was sure nice not to have to meet someone else once we got there. After a small orientation and logistics talk on Wednesday, we all went to dinner across the street from the hotel. I chose Pizza. Thursday morning we got on a charter bus at 8:30 am and left for JFK airport in New York. That night our flight to Brussels left at 5:15. We arrived around midnight our time, which was 6am Brussels time. Then we got on a flight for Banjul at 10 am and got to Banjul around 4pm. There was a large group of people to meet us at the airport and welcome us to ton. That was really nice. Dinner was brought right over, it was french fries, cole slaw, and a meat on bone situation, but I ate it all. Tonight we are all in a big group house for all the Americans in Gambia. Tomorrow morning is vaccinations and moving into training.

ReplyDeleteDillon, we just found your blog. So glad to read about all that has taken place. Wow, what an experience you are having. Have to tell you, I had a meeting with David's English teacher. We had a nice discussion then she said she loved David and he was a great kid. Then she commented on how happy our family must be because he writes often about things we do and people he gets to spend time with like the cousin that joined the Peace Corp!! David had written a paper about YOU!! Thanks for keeping us up to date with your big Adventure. You are loved and thought of often!! SOOO Thankful for our wonderful family this Thanksgiving!!
