Sitting in the airport lounge in Atlanta waiting for my connection flight to Accra!
This might be the first time I am able to sit down and take it all in...last 2 days have been extremely stressful with surgery exam and trying to see family, friends and uhmmm pack before I left today!
Last night was nice...went for dinner with my family to Mythos...nothing like a good greek meal before I leave. Most memorable moment was when I was saying goodbye to everyone and seeing my grandfather cry...never ever have I seen him cry before....it was special. Really enjoyed a nice dinner with the family...always very fun and interesting times :) Then went for drinks with friends at Benelux...good beer!
Still hadn't packed my bags till this morning...Evie was still asleep as I had all my stuff everywhere around the house, trying to figure out what I was gonna pack. I wanted to pack light and enjoy the experience....suitcase 56lbs and dufflebag 26lbs...oh well! But i managed to get lots of supplies from the hospital....lots of sutures, gauze and meds to bring with me there.
Then finally made it to the airport with my mom, dad and Evie :) They sent me off and I met up with Patrick and Eric...my travelling partners. This was tough to say goodbye....especially to Evs...she was in tears and I didn't want to make it worse...so I held it all in until I was no longer in her sight.
Had a nice flight from Montreal to Atlanta....little rocky, no leg room, a larger habitus person sitting beside me....but I watched movies on my laptop. It's all good. For some reason though...the flight attendant thought this was his night in stand up comedy and wouldn't stop talking on the overhead PA and kept talking and talking...sooo annoying.
In Atlanta aiport...supposedly one of the busiest airports in the world....who knew?! Went to eat at TGI Fridays...so good! Free refills though and she gave me 3 large glasses worth of coke...my stomach hurts now along with those malaria pills....oh well
Alright guys...it's time to board right now...everyone is in line and they are checking our visas...oh and lots of crying babies...great! It's going to be a 10 hour flight...can't wait.
When we land in Accra....there should be someone holding a sign with our names...will be escorted to a lodging place for the night. Hopefully we'll get a chance to visit some markets! Next morning we will be flying to Tamale and then drive to Nalerigu where the baptist medical centre is!!
See you all soon!
Love you guys...Evie...still missing you....28 more days xox
