After 15 hours in the air I made it safely to Dubai (which for those who don't know is just north of Saudi Arabia in the United Arab Emirates). At first it seemed really odd to overshoot my destination and come here, but the route they took went up and over Greenland and then descended south towards Dubai. What can I say? The flight was fairly uneventful. Years of traveling to Israel has seasoned me to long flights so 15 hours seemed to go by pretty quickly. I watched The Informant (it was ok) and The Blind Side (tear-jerker good), ate some, slept some, admired all the women's head scarves, slept some more....and here I am. Emirates Air scored pointed by putting me up in a hotel for my 12 hr layover AND feeding me too. Definitely helps to break up the trip and now I have another 8 hour flight tomorrow before I hit Accra!
I'm definitely feeling apprehensive about the nursing side of this trip. Everyone keeps telling me the I'll be fine, but in reality I'm super nervous!!!! Three semesters deep in to nursing school and I'm still questioning my skills. I guess that's why I'm going to Ghana though....
Love you all and will update more when I can!

Glad you're traveling safely and way to go Emirates Air for the awesome layover! Don't be a doubter you can do it! If it helps imagine it's just me or someone you know cause you would totally have no problem cutting, sticking, poking, stabbing, or whatever to me or someone else you know & have faith in your abilities! You are there not just to learn but for the experience itself so enjoy it all. Stay well world traveler, lymysy
