This is your captain speaking...

By Alisha & Micah

We made it! Micah and I arrived in Lima, Peru late last night and are now at a retreat center for an orientation. Tomorrow we will meet our host family and officially move in.

We boarded the plane in Miami and sat on the tarmac for an hour and before taking off the captain announced that the plane was taking longer to get loaded and situated because it was at maximum weight capacity. As if that were not enough to make us nervous, he then said that he had never seen that before. The flight was great and everyone arrived safely.

Everyone in out training group has been great and the staff in Peru seem very motivated and capable, so we are very excited about the next 11 weeks of training.

I'm so glad that you arrived safely! We missed you last night at the wedding, but it all went wonderfully. Have fun at training! Keep us posted :)

Hazaa! Glad to know you arrived safe and sound. Keep us posted on the many "firsts" to come; first bout of food poisoning, first southern hemisphere hair cut, and your first Peruvian sunburn. It's all so exciting!
