Well we did it...we're sitting in Florida preparing for Peace Corps- While this is exciting I would like to share some thoughts about our day yesterday :)
We arrived at the airport at approximatively 5:30 a.m. We were flying through Delta airlines- When flying in the United States you're only allowed to check one bag- However if you're flying out of the United States you can check two. We needed to check two bags each because eventually we'll be flying to Jamaica. The clerks just couldn't seem to understand that- we explained to them that our tickets were purchased through the government and we were doing a service to the country. The gentlemen at the counter (Will was his name) proceeded to tell us that Peace Corps is not a service to the United States! Now I want everyone to think for a minute whether or not we're really sacrificing two years of our lives for this country........after much thought I tend to think...uh duh! I was deeply offended by this mans comment and chose to walk away- after a nice hefty bill for our extra bags we walked away and boarded our plane to Florida.
It was extremely hard to say good bye to ALL of our loved ones however I'm grateful to have Will through this entire process. We're preparing to meet everyone in our group! We're excited to meet these people but I have to admit we're also a little nervous. There are so many unknown things ahead of us!
Yesterday for dinner we ate at a fabulous Sushi restaurant and this morning we had some delicious Starbucks Coffee and ate at a little Crepe restaurant. Our hotel is very nice and we got some much needed rest last night.
Love to Everyone!
