Finally Here

Yesterday Mom got my sister and me up at 2 in the morning so we could catch a plane at 5:30 in the morning. Navigating the terminal wasn't as hard as I thought it would be 'cause someone pointed us in the right direction. My favorite part was flying over the clouds.

The night before we stayed up till 11:00 at night to pack, so we only got 31/2 hours of sleep. We will be here for a month, and I missed Mom even BEFORE we left. Have you ever tried to fit a month's worth of clothes and school in a 45 inch bag? Let me tell you, it is really hard. Both of us rested after lunch, but I don't know that we slept.
