Flying, Running, Driving....WE ARE HERE!!! YESSSS!!!

WE HAVE ARRIVED!!! so after about 23 hours of travel, we have made it safely to the Amani Baby Cottage!! we left LAX at 8:30 on April 10th. our plane was delayed for 45 min which made for an exciting adventure when we landed in New Jersey and had to run to the opposite end of the airport to make our flight to Brussels!! after dodging many people and taking advantage of the moving sidewalks, we made it to the gate just before they closed the doors. God is def looking out ;). after 8 hours we arrived in Belgium, where we were desperately hungry for an actual meal. Unfortunately, the Brussels airport was not the biggest. and due to the poor location of our terminal, we were separated from food and a delicious looking chocolate shop by a glass security wall. not so fun haha!! eventually we got on the plane and after about 10 hours landed in Entebbe, Uganda. And all of our luggage made it!!! YESSSSS!! we drove for about 3 hours to the orphanage and finally got to sleep at about two in the morning Ugandan time (we are 10 hours ahead). This concludes our flying adventures....for awhile!! Africa is amazing so far and we are excited for our first real day here!!
