Before I tell you about my travel days, I thought I would show you where I stayed in Enniskillen.
Cool, eh?
So instead of telling you it took three days to arrive in Zdolbuniv, Ukraine, I thought it would be fun to make a time blog. Here it goes!
Monday July 30
8:00 AM- Leave Rugby Club to go to bus station
10:36 AM- Find out not all 21 of us can fit on the bus
10:48 AM- Extra bus comes for me, Adam, Abby, Joe, Caleb, and Diane
1:15 PM- Arrive at Dublin Airport
4:39 PM- Leave airport to see Dark Knight Rises with a few teammates
10:56 PM- Arrive back at airport past “curfew”
Tuesday July 31
1:57 AM- Went to bed after Skyping with everybody back at home
4:28 AM- Get woken up to be told to move, and to not fall asleep in the airport
8:14 AM- Get told by our logistics all of our packs have to be 44 pounds, or pay 10 euro every kilo over. My pack is a total of 56, and I refuse to throw anything away!
1:15 PM- Logistics tells us that they changed it to 66 pounds, after everybody threw things away..
3:49 PM- Boarded plane to Istanbul
10:10- Arrived!
Wednesday August 1
12:29 AM- Typing a blog and trying to keep everybody updated!
12:49 AM- Attempting to sleep in a gate where nobody is.. And it is kind of creepy
4:32 AM- Get woken up by a little boy full on slap me, and the parents did not get on to them
7:39 AM- Boarding plane to Ukraine
9:55 AM- Arrive in Kiev, Ukraine
11:38 AM- Six hour bus ride for my team, as well as another team. Blah
4:20 PM- Pee break, and Snickers break
6:00 PM- Arrive at our contact’s house and ate real Ukrainian food
8:45 PM- Arrived at Diane, Cassie, and my house for the month
9:19 PM- Showered!!
So over 60 hours of traveling, we made it! Just thought everyone should know, this is most likely how all of my traveling will be. I know in Africa, we will only fly a plane to Kenya, and then fly on a plane out of Mozambique. Everything else will be by bus. This is the World Race life, and I absolutely love it.
Thank you everybody for your prayers on my travel days.
