And We're Off...

…to JFK International Hotel. Our 11:40am flight has been delayed to 11:59pm tonight! We will be spending the day at the hotel, as well as, tomorrow night in Johannesburg, birth city of my main man, Dave Matthews. I think subconsciously I wanted to spend more time in Jo-Burg for this reason alone, but you know what they say, “be careful of what you wish for.” The wait will make arriving at our final destination that much better!

Ironically, the De La Salle “Virtue of a Good Teacher” that I chose at random this morning is that of “Reserve”(Self-control). De La Salle wants teachers to control themselves and show restraint in the face of annoyance.


In the hotel, we plan to take advantage of the few complimentary meals and review some of the children’s books we brought along that we plan on teaching with; my favorite being The Grouchy Ladybug, of corse. How fitting.
Everyone is planning on taking naps and just hanging out around here. Becca and I went on an adventure and unfortunately, the pool's closed:(

After all, the journey is the destination, right? Here we go!!!
