I am on a plane right now leaving Johannesburg, South Africa for our stopover in Dakar, Senegal.Today just consisted of checking out at eight, saying goodbye to everybody who wasn't from San Diego (including the Wilkersons, Sandra, Elliott, Derek ((who was our honorary team member for our last day at the church - I'll explain later)), Candice, and Joshua), leaving on a bus for Johannesburg at 10:30, and making it in time for our flight at 5:30. Mr. Goyette was worried that we wouldn't have enough time to get through security because bus rides ALWAYS take more than the predicted five hours - they usually average over six hours of traveling time. No team has ever made there in five hours. A lot of us were praying about the situation... and we are officially the first team to make it in UNDER five hours!!! Now to look forward to the next exciting 25 hours of flying, layovers, and more flying... whoo-hoo. :)
(Note: Total non-stop travel/layover/other travel/other layover/more travel/longer layover/final travel took thirty hours. I arrived safely at 10:30 California time on July 25th, the official last day. Since nothing much happened other than getting home, however, this is the last journal entry.)
