WE DIDN'T DIE IN A HORRIBLE PLANE CRASH!!!

Hey Dudes!!!!

So, we made it! 10 hours from L.A. to London. 4 hour layover. 11 and a half hours from London to Cape Town. Yikes! Oh, and Cale had the stomache flu for both flights. Wow, it has been a tad on the nutty side thus far, but we hung in there! We love this place! Of course, we wish that each and every one of you could come and be a part of this with us, but we definitely feel your prayers. We already have plenty of stories to tell you, from the couple performing some PDA next to/on Rory, to Dayna's middle name being used at customs, and Cale's run in with the beggar at the mall. Our first meal in country was good, we ate at Whimpy's. Make you sure you don't ask for a napkin, that means something else. Oh, and water is either still or sparkling. We all love our hosts for our homestays, and our driver Godfrey is awesome too! Needless to say, we are all minorities here, but it's a refreshing experience and we can't wait to actually get out into the local community and mix it up with the nationals. That's it for the first post, there really isn't a lot more we can tell you other than little anecdotes. We are all super tired and heading to bed for the earliest time since we were probably 8 years old. Love you all!

Yeah, we're finally here! :) The plane ride wasn't too bad. Cale and I got moved to the front of the row so we had more leg room. About five hours into the flight he looked at me, SUPER pale faced and said, "Dayna... I think I'm going to throw up. What should I do?" I guess my reaction was to stick out my hands in front of his mouth, but that was stupid. After that, it was about five hours standing in the back of the plane. It was kind of nice because I could walk around while he puked his guts out. I was actually pretty worried for a while, but the flight attendants were really nice and helpful.

It's already weird being back. I'm staying at my old home stay, and it's like I never left. For those who I studied abroad with, me & Jen are always tapping each other and saying, "Oh remember that?" and laughing! :) We miss you guys!

We actually got to Cape Town when there is a big storm hitting. That's a bummer. We are just here until Monday to see some historical landmarks and to get acclimated to the time change.

More to come, but your prayers for health and rejuvination would be greatly appreciated!
Love,
Dayna
