Day 1:

 Well today I have begun my adventure to Uganda! It's crazy to think that I am already on my way. I slept great before my flight to Toronto and got to meet everyone at the airport in saskatoon before I left. I was an emotional wreck and couldn't stop the tears but I been able to keep myself together this past day! My flight to Toronto was nice. I got moved to first class for  no reason which was awesome! I was able to sleep and was comfortable. I spent my day exploring the airport and eating lots of food and sleeping in the lounge. I had supper at Swiss chalet. May I say it was quite nice dining for one! I then went through security and waited for my flight to Dubai. I flew with Emirates and the plane was crazy! It was a double decker and had a spa and suites. Unfortunately I wasn't able to sleep but it was a luxurious plane! I was able to sit by another Christian lady and it was sweet to hear about her teaching opportunity in Dubai. I have landed in Dubai a few hours ago and have been travelling for a day now. It is 9pm here and I have a layover here and my flight to Uganda leaves in the am. I am missing everyone at home and can't wait to tell more stories! I am excited to meet everyone down I'm Uganda! Highlight of the day: I was starting to tear up while boarding in saskatoon and a flight attendant came up to me an gave me a hug. It lightened my day. God has already been so evident while travelling and I can't wait to see what else he has in store! 


P.S I got to see the Burj Khalifa. You can't see it too well in this picture but it's because there is a sand storm at the moment and you can't see much.
