Here I am!
So I've arrived here safely and am now in Conakry. The flight from JFK to Dakar was very interesting, I sat next to a family who had just moved to South Africa from the U.S. They were very informative and had the two cutest, little kids (who kept me up most of the flight). Our flight was delayed for about an hour and our captain kept saying "silly booger in the hole"....uh...can anyone tell me what that means?! Right now I'm at the Peace Corps house which has AC...yay...and bunk beds...whoop whoop! However, one of my checked bags was lost at the airport which has all my shoes, lots of my clothes, etc. Hopefully, they will find it tomorrow...I'm not so sure. I just had my first Guinean meal...it was rice and some sort of meat. I took a bite of the meat and immediately asked for a napkin and carefully, so no one would noticed, spit out this mystery meat. I just couldn't chew it, nor get it down; and I later learned it was goat... However, I did eat most of the rice, so I have that going for me. I will be in Conakry for the next four days until Sunday in which I will be moving in with a host family. Can hardly wait!

Hey Lisa,
Silly Bugger means behaving in a stupid or annoying way. Now that you know, try not to be one!!!!!
Love you muchly,

So glad to hear you arrived safe and sound at the next link in the journey. Sounds like the people you are meeting along the way are very entertaining. Talk about a world class education.
We are all good. Had Brody for 9 hours yesterday and he is perfect. Bought a stroller so we can go for walks.
Take care of yourself and stay safe. Really happy to have to chance to hear from you.
Love all of us.
