Over the next few weeks, I will add my journal entries, in order of when they were written. I will also add some pictures.

My favorite thing to hear as I try and curl up to sleep after 2 movies and still 6 hours of flight time left., Dennis' laugh! I love to hear him laugh, shakes my body awake with a smile.

We made it to Uganda!!!!
The first moment that this trip hit me was as soon as we landed Dennis says to me "We are in Africa". That brought tears of Joy to my eyes.
When we landed Trevor reminded us to slather on our mosquito repellent. We weren't sure at first if we really needed to. Everyone warned us of the bugs, but we were still not prepared for what we saw! We did us our deet wipes and wipe down all exposed skin before we left the plane. Good idea!!! As soon as we saw the first window outside it was covered in mosquitoes, the corners had to have over a million of them piled up! I'm not kidding!!! They were swarming around the whole airport, I'm pretty sure I ate a few. :(
We headed to the immigration center and once we got to the bottom of the stairs there was a man holding a sign that said "Eastlake". I really had wished I could have taken a picture, no photos in the airport. We all proceeded to customs and there was a huge line, he took us straight to the front of the line, wow Fred really took care of us! Once we collected all of our bags- yes they all showed up! We walked outside and Fred (owner of HCCP) was waiting for us!
After a bumpy and interesting sightseeing of nightlife, we arrived at our hotel. Very, very nice!
We ate- not everything was good, but great french fries, now time for bed!
