On the Ground

I have arrived! I made it, even though my flights gave me palpitations the whole time. I swear next time I am driving to JFK- it has to be quicker and less stressful. Luckily my connection was delayed as well and I made it to Brussels. That airport was a very clean and comfy place to have a layover.
I was able to meet up with Amir, the MD from Mt Sinai. I snoozed away most of both flights. I arrived in Liberia around 6 pm and drove to Monrovia with Alvin, an old friend from the last trip.
JFK looks as great as ever, though I was not able to take pictures because it was POURING RAIN. Ahh, the rainy season.
I am rounding on the wards tomorrow- I cannot believe I am back!

Takeoff


Farewell to Worcester! I am off to Monrovia. I had one minor last second camera glitch, but all was well with a new memory card. Right now I am at Logan, bags checked, through security. I am awaiting the boarding of the first small step of the long journey to Liberia. I am SO EXCITED to be going back! Keep your good vibes for ontime flights coming my way, and I will log on on the other side!
