small update...

Just wanted to let everyone know i made it to cape town, south africa safe and sound. It was a long an arduous journey (one which i seriously thought would never end). Surprisingly enough the 14 hour flight from NYC to South Africa was A LOT better than the one from LAX to NYC. The LAX one was a stuffy, red eye, with tightly squeezed in seats (extremely claustrophobic) and when i got to NY i was running around JFK like a chicken with her head cut off because I couldn't find my bags! I received an encouraging text message from Sheena and thankfully enough things turned around after that. Met a fellow volunteer aboard the flight, and talked to some nice people. I am finally at the Home-Base and have met a few of the volunteers and have somewhat settled in but i have a long day tomorrow so I'm going to sleep and get some rest. I'll hopefully take and post photos soon!
