and don’t call me shirley!

The airplane rides were wonderful considering we got here safe and sound. Sleeping was a little bit of a challenge, especially on the first plane, but in retrospect, it was great getting to talk to fellow PCTs (PC Trainees) and playing around with the monitor each seat had. The monitors had games, movies, TV shows, news casts, cartoons, music, etc. Another really chouette chose that happened was that on our flight from NY to Paris, there was a lady sitting a few seats away from me who had been a PCV in the 70s. Get this—in Togo! She was as excited and surprised that she was in a plane full of future Togo PCVs as we were to meet her. It was a good sign.
I feel like I should make a quick note about the actual planes we were on since I know some of you ;) really like planes. Ummm… they were big and amazing. Who wouldn’t be amazed by a huge chunk of metal that can fly, right?! I wish I could say more about them, but that’s really all I know.
