We are here

hello everyone,
We left Nairobi to Tanzania last night at midnight and flew over mount Kilimanjaro but it was too dark to see it! Arrived in Daar es Salaam at 3 am and waited for the 10:50 flight today to Blantyre, we nearly never got on as the airline did not get confirmation of payment from the Kenya airlines and thus they weren't too excited to let 13 of us on without payment - they actually held the plane on the tarmack for us to run on and we arrived in Blantyre around noon!!! woot woot!
The streets we drove took us through some extreme poverty and really makes us thankful for all we have and extremely embarrassed for all that we packed.
5 of our group members have arrived without their luggage but thankfully we have been able to 'share with everyone' except poor Ken - hard to borrow underwear from 12 women!! Their luggage should arrive by Thursday and tomorrow morning they will go out for some supplies prior to our departure.
We took a short ride from the airport to the Gold Card Executive Lodge Limited (hotel).
We are fed and ready for bed although it is only 8:50 here we are soooooooooo exhausted!
Tomorrow we will get to the site by mid morning to build for the day and then spend the next 10 days at the Luhkabula Lodge and Conference center. Should be able to post soon with build updates!
Happy Birthday Leslie!
