Airplanes

I've been on four airplanes in the past 48 hours--a total of 26 hours. We are all exhausted and anxious to arrive. On our third flight, we left at 6:55am on June 19th, this morning. That was when I fell asleep on Carson. She pushed me off and my head slammed against the seat in front of me. I now have a bruise the size of a walnut on my forehead. Thanks, Carson. We got off the flight at 5:20pm in Johannesburg, South Africa. The final flight left for Cape Town at 7:00pm. We're excited about getting off these ridiculous planes and checking into Lagoon Beach Hotel. We are on a mini jet with not many people and the plane has two seats a row so I have to sit with some creepy man. Oh, I can't wait to get off the plane and go to sleep in a nice bed in the hotel...

Socks and South Africa

Date: June 18th, 2010
Destination: South Africa

Today is day one of our adventure to South Africa! We're all pretty shaky and full of anticipation. It's 1:45pm at RDU, and our flight is scheduled for 2:40pm. We're going to be flying for about two days, and we'll get in to Cape Town around 9:00pm on the 19th. It's a lot of flying, but we all love airplanes, and I've got a copy of Wuthering Heights to crack open. Tanner, Forrest, and I are sitting here looking out of this huge window that shows all of the airplanes taking off. It's really cool to watch. Carson and Philip went off in search of everything bagels and coffee. It's too bad they don't know we've already switched all of their socks into each others' suitcases.
