We are here!! It was a long and incredible journey! Here's the low down...

We started off at the church at 6:30am. From there we left and drove to Cincinnati to start our flights. Checking our luggage went amazingly smooth and we had an awesome American Airlines attendant. Once we checked all our bags and bins, we went to the gate to wait for our flights. 7 members of the group took an earlier flight to Chicago and got there ahead of the other group, so we just hung out there in the food court and played games.

Once the second half of the group got there, we went to our international gate to wait for our flight. We waited for about an hour and then our flight came. We boarded our Boeing 767 and got ready to travel for over 8 hours. We didn't have screens in the back of our seats but we did have movies and music to listen too. Most of us slept the whole way but there were a few who didn't. The food was pretty good as well (for airplane food)!

Once we landed in Belgium, we headed to our next gate and had about an hour til we boarded our final flight. Some of us took what I call "airport showers". That's when you bring all your travel size toiletries and go to the bathroom and take a shower. It was great! Wash your hair, brush your teeth, wipe off your face, and reapply some deodorant. You feel SO much better.

We boarded our flight to Nairobi and we were on our way. Another almost 11 hours later we landed here in Kenya. At this point we went to get our Visas and then get our luggage and bins. After we got all of them (praise God), we started to load the vans and buses. Then we left to head to Heart House and get settled and go to bed. We ended up laying down at about 1:30am local time.

Katherine and Julie are posting tomorrow so be sure to check it out!!
