Dominican Republic Day 1

Day 1 was a Friday. I left in the later morning with another student from my church, Steve. We had to flights and this was both of our second time flying.

We were nervous. Well okay I was mostly. I was sick my last plane ride two years ago and if was awful.

I caught a cold the night before but my mom gave me some nasty medicine and it only lasted lightly for three days.

Our flights went pretty good. One plane had a flat tire which caused delay but at least they noticed  before we took off.

When we arrived that night I found out that I would be stay with a Dominican Family by myself instead of having an American with me.

I was scared and lonely the first night so I turned to my best friend who was the only one to talk too.
I prayed and God calmed me down. My D.R. family was wonderful and staying by myself with them turned into a blessing.

Dominican Republic

So I have preparing to leave at the end of June to spend one week in the Dominican Republic. I will be traveling with one other student from my church and we will fly by ourselves. I am very excited but still very nerves because we will be flying into the JFK airport and will have to catch our next flight.
