We're here! Travel was so easy. We took a red eye flight from Kona to LA and I slept the entire time. From LA, we went right to our next flight to Miami and I got to sit next to a great lady, Cathleen. She is a flight attendant and was going to do a job from Miami to Argentina. She was so fun to talk to and she's been all over the world. It was awesome to hear all her stories and about all the people she's met. We had a 3 hour layover in Miami before flying to Santo Domingo. When we got here, it took us a while to find Denine, one of the women on staff here, but we finally did and took a van ride to the base. The people here drive crazily. They go anywhere they want and don't pay very much attention to lanes or stop signs. They are so good at it though and it's kind of fun.
We've all been pretty tired, but we're functioning. We got to go to a homeless shelter yesterday and a leper center today. We aren't allowed to take many pictures yet, and even the ones we have we aren't allowed to post. It's a long explanation, but hopefully that will change soon. It's been awesome to get to know some people and just start to build relationships. Everyone here is super friendly and hospitable.
I don't have much time, but I wanted to let you know that I'm here and safe and loving it. It's crazy hot and humid, but I'll hopefully get used to it soon.
