Safe Arrival..part two and days later

Jambo! So its Monday here and we have been so so busy. We finally made it in Saturday night around 800 (local time) which comes to just over two and a half days of traveling. We are very excited to be here and already have so much to tell everyone! Updates might be few and far between because electricity comes and goes in Bagamoyo.

A couple of quick highlights...yesterday we walked along the Indian ocean. B took pictures, get ready to be jealous. We also toured the first catholic missionary in Africa-pretty amazing! Every minute really has been an adventure its hard to write about everything that is happening in our lives. We just want to thank you all for the love and support you have given both of us in helping to make this dream a reality.

Kwaheri!

Love and prayers,
Monica and Bridget

Safe arrival...part one

Thanks to the five star service of Qatar airways, we made it doha in just under sixteen hours. And yet now our journey is still only at the half way mark. A twelve hour layover in Doha and then a six hour flight to dar es Salem. And just in case that wasn't enough travel, it will still be about five more hours till we reach bagamoyo.

Travel tip for the day: if Qatar flies anywhere close to where you are traveling, and I mean anywhere close, take it! Seriously, they were amazing...I'm not even mad:)
