Welcome to Miami

I officially left home today and although I hate to admit it, emotions were very overwhelming. I guess it finally set in that I am going forward on this amazing adventure....yet leaving everything/everyone I know and love behind. I am going to miss so much in Georgia...in the U.S., but I am also very excited to see where this journey leads. So far...it has lead me to Miami and NOT South Beach (I wish)...I met up with some other volunteers in baggage claim and we all caught the shuttle (after flagging it down 3 times) and rode it together to the hotel. From there, we checked in, put our stuff down, and walked across the street to catch a bite at wait for it....the "Latin Cafe" (I think I was the only one who found it a little ironic to be eating Spanish-style food before moving to a South American country for 2 years lol but oh well) I will try to post a group pic later. Anyways, this is all the action so far. I'll keep everyone updated, chao! :)
