Monday, July 19

2:00 AM: Departure for West Palm Beach Airport en route to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

We woke up and quickly loaded into our vans to head to the West Palm Beach Airport. I was the only student to ride with Val and it was a great opportunity to bond with the trip leader.

Our first flight was from to JFK and I slept for the entire flight. As soon as we landed we had to retrieve our luggage, change terminals, and re-check in on Emirates Airlines. Sadly, Thalita’s (Brazil) bag never made it!


We had very little time at JFK before we had to jump on a plane to Dubai for 12 hours. For this flight I sat next to Nicole (Florida) and watched movies while getting some sleep. I watched Date Movie, Invictus, Temple Grandon, and Crazy Heart.
