Some pics =)

Some pics of South Africa from the plane and the house






We made it !

So my first impressions of Capetown so far is that its a beautiful city. There is a huge mountain called Devil's Peak that kind of overlooks the city. On the way here we past by some of the black townships and I can tell already that this is going to be a humbling experience for me. We are going to do a tour of the townships tomorrow so I can give a detailed description with pictures of course =)
Just arrived at the house in Capetown. Its beautiful =) and HUGE. I'm sharing a room with 4 other people but it's not so bad considering that the rooms are a pretty decent size. The house is FULLY staffed, there's cooks, housekeeping, security. I could get used to this...=D

My thoughts on the plane...

These are my thoughts as I was on the longest plane ride ever. South Africa is 6 hours head of USA! So I pretty much lost 6 hours on the ride over here.
7/30/10 On the plane
I have been on the plane for 6 hours yet I feel as if I have been on the plane for 2 days! My first flight experience thus far has been a fairly smooth one. I got a little naseaous during the takeoff but once we got in the air I felt pretty good. I've been sleeping and watching movies, Thank God for the individual T.V's cause I was getting restless after the 1st hour lol. Gonna take a nap now...

No sweat...

So it's July first and I have 29 days until I take my first flight (of 20 hours ahhh) to the other side of the world. Things are starting to heat up and I realize that there's a lot still left to do. Seeing as how I generally tend to be a last minute person I should be able to get these last few things taken care of without breaking a sweat. Hmmm, on second thought, maybe I need to get my Degree ready...
