The Journey

The Journey:

I arrived in Quito (approx 2 weeks ago) safe and sound but not without a few bumps in the road.

My parents and my brothers Blair and Cam gave up their precious sleep to wake up at 4:00am to accompany me to the airport and see my off my grand adventure.  Their final hugs and kisses were a huge boost to my courage.

They say that bad things happen in threes and my journey here was true to that rule:

1.     I read the departure time on my ticket wrong came uncomfortably close to missing my plane out of Winnipeg.

2.     I arrived in Quito but my luggage did not.

3.     I exited the airport to find that there was no one there to pick me up and I did not have the contact info of anyone in Ecuador (uh-oh)

But luckily with some patience, problem solving and help from some lovely strangers all of these issues were resolved, eventually my luggage and myself made it to my new home in Quito.

My Mama a little teary eyed seeing me off in the Wpg airport.

Bye Daddy I love you.
