We are Here

After 20 hour plus of being on a plane we are finally spending our first day in Africa. Everyone had their bags make it here so we are of to a good start. We went from the airport to a bbq hosted by the local club. The food was great and the hospitality even better. Our whole group is staying with host families. I will update pictures later of the bbq. Some of the boys are at school today with their host wrestler. They were actually excited to go to school. I think because they were told there will be many girls. Today we will train at 1:00 PM then work on making weight for tomorrow. Most of the boys are close so it should not be to tough.
So we are here and hit the ground running. It is a lovely sunny morning.

Flight Status

The flight to Atlanta landed on time and is already boarding for Johannesburg.
If you or their siblings want to watch the flight status you can do so by going to www.delta.com
and track status for Flight 200 (atlanta to Johannesburg) It gives you real time flight location.
The flight to Johannesburg is 15 hr 5 min. So they should land approximately 8:15 am our time, I think :-)
