Yoshi
I'm on the plane right just entering Africa near Benghazi. Glad I'm 37,000 feet in the air lol. It's dark outside and we've been flying for 9 hours and 8 minutes. Yes, when you've been in a Plane for that long even the minutes count. I've already lost track of what day it is. I think it's Friday in Africa, 6pm Thursday in Thibodaux. We arrived in Washingtonian dc somewhere around 9 last night. Our Louisiana group plus Linda ( we consider her a Cajun even if she lives in Indiana) really are a great group. We've had such a blast. We really have a good group with us this year. We met everyone else in DC this morning but really haven't gotten a chance to know them.
So I guess y'all are wondering what the deal with Yoshi is. Probably the best story of the trip so far. Our group has 12 people from LA and we each have a backpack, carry on suitcase, and two large suitcases. We had to catch a bus to the hotel. So we walk out to the outside terminal to catch the bus ( mind you it's 27 degrees outside and we have no jackets). So the guys load the bus up with as many suitcases as we can. The girls hop in and we are all sitting on suitcases, each other's laps, just shoved into the bus. The guys are still figuring out the suitcase situation and this random Japanese guy comes by the door, looks around, climbs over all of the suitcases and sits on a seat. We are all looking at each other like what is going on. Mandy says sir I don't know if you want to do this but he just sits and smiles. So we all load in and at this point mandy is already asking this guy to sing us Christmas carols in Japanese. Needless to say he didn't know Rudolph the red nose reindeer. It may be one of those situations where you would have to be there but we laughed all night long about the random Japanese guy piled into the van with us and 65836 suitcases.
So we're on our way. Unfortunately this flight hasn't been great in the sleep department but it's all good. I'll get some sleep tonight, tomorrow, whatever day it'll be. Everyone is really excited and ready to be there. I think we have about 3 or 4 more hours to go and then we switch planes and then have another two hours after that.
I'll post again as soon as I can!
Jambo!
