January 28th 2009 Day 1

Right now I am sitting in the Joburg airport where I have been for three hours waiting for our flight. But, at least so far we have not missed one. We started out monday morning at about 8 then got on a flight with 6 saint Bens girls. Only Kate and I are living at Langarry. We made it to washington Dulles at about 2 after 2 hours we had lunch at Harrys where the waitress thought we were hilarious, and knew that we were going to eat alot so she brought out 2 loaves of bread right away. I had this amazing brie and chicken sandwich that cubby would have appreciated. We then finally boarded the flight to Jo burg and found out that we would be riding a hovercraft as kate called it. but really they were these weird car things. Kate was tired of waiting for it so she said "lets hover this craft"

Finally we got on the plane of death. I never want to be on a plane for 15 hours ever again. I am dreading the ride back home. At least there were some good movies to watch and that passed a good amount of time. But. I did not sleep well at all.. the plane was crowded and very uncomfortable. The meals were subpar also. We finally got to JO Burg swelled feet and all, and I am sitting at gate c-9 waiting for another 2 hour flight then off to meet camel toe.
