Day 1: Travel……….Travel………and MORE TRAVEL!

Nobody said it would be a quick trip to get from the United States to Nairobi, Kenya!...........Our group left Dulles Airport in Washington DC on Tuesday, February 24th at 6:50 p.m.  We had a 6 ½ hour flight to London Heathrow.  After a three hour layover we flew another 8 ½ hours to get to Nairobi.  Morgan (with FTC Sports Partnerships) and Ben (with FTC Kenya) were waiting to greet us upon arrival.  We are happy to announce that NOBODY had any luggage lost along the way!

There was a bus waiting to load our luggage and take us to our hotel for check in.  It was about 10:00 p.m. here in Nairobi, so our drive to the hotel was uneventful.  The only thing to really be said about the drive is that we were able to enjoy having the bus windows open as the temperature was perfect……..much nicer than Flint, Michigan where some of our group members came in from!

After checking in, everyone crashed for the night because we knew we had a packed day ahead.
