ALMOST THERE


Hello World!

We made it though our first long plane ride! It is Thursday morning (10am) back home in Victoria and here in the Heathrow, England airport it is 6pm Thursday night…trying to get all these times figured out is really confusing! Even though we have a very long layover here in the airport it has gone by surprisingly fast. We are all running on 3 hrs of sleep or less and I am really looking forward to hopefully getting some sleep on our next plane….but so far no luck. When we arrived at the airport I went into the washrooms to brush my teeth and attempt to make myself look presentable…but man when I looked in the mirror YIKES! Traveling does not look good on me haha. Just imagine someone who has been traveling for 24hrs, has gotten 2 hours of sleep and has not showered….yes it really is that amazing!

It felt weird flying into England because it has always been a big dream of mine to travel here…I did get to spend 5 pounds in a souvenir shop here but it feels so weird thinking that Im in England! So close…yet so far away! 

Well one more long ride through the night and then I will finally be in Africa! I will admit though that I feel like I will never feel truly clean again...All I want to do is hop into a nice warm shower with unlimited water and then throw on some comfy pajama’s and hop into a nice cozy bed! WELL so much for that plan….who knows where I will be sleeping when we get there but I guess that’s all part of the adventure…? 

Here we come Africa!
