Here at last, here at last!

I arrived in Rabat early this afternoon. Tad and I got up about 4am yesterday and he left me at the airport around 6am. The most exciting part of the trip was when I got off the plane at gate 7 at JFK. I turned to my right looking for a kiosk that would tell me which gate I would need to go to next when I noticed this person sort of camped out with her laptop and luggage. I did a double take and realized it was Melanie, yes, my twin sister! She was waiting to fly to Tel Aviv. Of course, I knew she was going to Tel Aviv but she'd left a full day ahead of me. What I didn't know was that her flight to JFK was diverted to Philadelphia the day before because of weather. By the time she got into JFK she'd missed her connection and Delta booked her to leave on a 7:30pm flight Friday. We spent about two hours together visiting and eating lunch and then I had to make my way to terminal one for my next leg of the journey. NOTE: JFK needs better signage.

When I was waiting to check in at the Wichita airport yesterday this family was lining their luggage up and snapping pictures of it. I must have looked at them strangely because the mother of the clan said, "If you lose your luggage a picture of it can help to expedite the recovery". Well, I thought that sounded like a good idea b/c I needed to be all about expediting the recovery of my luggage should it get "lost".

Did you notice it weighed in nine pounds under the limit? Probably won't be the case on the return home. Thankfully, it arrived and so did I. All is good.

Orientation tomorrow.....
