The journey has begun! After a somewhat emotional goodbye to family and friends yesterday I have successfully arrived in America. First miracle was getting through passport control and customs eezy peezy - for anyone who's ever travelled with me, border control seriously freaks me out! And no I'm not traveling illegally, I'm just a little paranoid at times :) I'm now sitting at Washingtion airport enjoying the free wifi as I wait for my connecting flight to Portland where I'll start meeting up with some of the team. I'm looking forward to staying with my friend Nadia who was one of my room mates in Mozambique - that's one of the advantages of having 7 room mates, I now have quite a few places to stay!!
