Greetings!
We arrived in Entebbe last night at 10:45, tired but yet excited to finally be here. We were met by the driver of the van to take us to Hotel Roma. The van was a 15 passenger van. There are 11 of us and 22 LARGE suitcases, 11 carryon bags and 5 purses. I will let your imagination take over from here!
On the way over, we met people from two other groups on their way over. One group was from Sarasota on a medical mission. One group was from London coming to work in Entebbe.
The beds were comfortable last night and we all slept well. After two long days of travel, the showers felt wonderful! Right now, we are waiting for the rain to subside so that they can repackage all of the above so we can embark on the 6 or 7 hour drive to Gulu. We will all visit one of the IDP camps tonight and then the guys will leave in the morning for The Village of Hope.
It is time to close for now -- we're about to head to Gulu. I hope to post tomorrow.
