Arrival in Dakar...

Hey there!! Just a quick note to let you know that we made it safe and sound!! It was actually some of the smoothest traveling I've done all year...and I've done A LOT of traveling!! We got into Dakar and hour early! There was an Expeditor waiting for us when we arrived...she just helped us with the little bit of paperwork, shuffled us through customs and helped to get our bags. Very nice lady! Then an Army Major picked us up from the airport and brought us to out hotel (Pullman)...took about 20 minutes since there was no traffic. It was still dark out, so we didn't get to see a whole lot on the drive. The hotel is very nice and modern, very clean as well. Got in about an hour nap then showered...ahhhh feel much better! Already had the first head scratching moment...can't get my curling iron to work! HA!

Maj. Jones is going to pick us up in a little bit to go to the Embassy....just so we can get all checked in and let them know we are here.
Also...the flights were great! We even had a celebrity on the plane! Jack Hannah and his crew, from Jack Hannah's Animal Adventures (a show thats usually on Saturday mornings). I recognized him right away! :)
Anyway....all is well, and we are excited to get out and see!!!! More later!
