I have arrived! However it was quite the experience getting here...
Saturday morning I woke up with pink eye so I had to contact the on-call doctor for a perscription and make an unexpected stop to the pharmacy :) Our flights from Detroit to Chicago and Chicago to Montreal were smooth BUT when we arrived in Montreal they made us go through customs, pick up our bags, and check in again (which we were told when we checked in that we wouldn't have to do!) We arrived to the check in desk just before they closed the flight. Thankfully there was a wonderful gentleman who helped us get through security and said he would personally make sure our luggage made the flight. What a God-send! So, we ran through the airport to catch our flight only to find out that the crew had not arrived yet (so much for rushing)!
Once we boarded the plane, the flight was good. They gave us dinner and then woke us up at 4:30 for breakfast (it's Ramadan and Muslims can't eat after sunrise). When we landed we had to get on a bus to be brought to the terminal. After we boarded a man came on with a sign for Tunis (spelling?) and pointed to another bus. Since neither Sarah nor I know French or Arabic, we were a bit confused. We stayed on the bus hoping we were in the right spot...and it was! We went through customs, got our luggage, found our people, and were on our way to the apartment.
