from the CP3

So, we made it! Almost 30hrs of travelling and then we stepped of the amazing plane onto the tarmack of Kilimanjaro Airport! WOW!! It was very balmy - Africa pulled out a most warmest of welcomes for our Team Tanzania! We had the easiest cutsoms we've ever encountered, thanks to the assistance of Dr. Solomon, one of the local doctors who's been a friend of the Phil Simon Clinic for many years. The ride to the hotel was very enjoyable...we had to sing for the driver and tour guide and they were very impressed with our swahili! The lodge is dreamy...right "Out of Africa!" We all slept like logs and enjoyed a delicious breakfast!!! Now we're off to our first day of work with the schools, orphanges and home visits...more to report tomorrow! We're very proud of the team! They've doing great!! Hugs to all ~ the CP3

    Mr Billy, Santos and Michelle. Hope you guys had a nice trip. Cant thank you enough for all the wonderful experiences you've given Arianna, and the rest of the CPSOA gang. Cant say when I've met anyone more Hard working and creative as you 3. My babys so far away from home, but I'm sure she'll be fine. It must be night, and I can only imagine a sunset in Africa. It was nerve wrecking waiting to here from you all. I wasn't sure about this blogging thing but sounds like all is well. Have fun and thanks from Mom and Dad Sanchez, PS Santos i'll remind you again don't let Ari play cards for money!! She's good LOL

    Hey there CP3! Santo...the WB Travel office is SO lonely without you! We're so thrilled you got there safe and sound. Both Janie and I have been thinking about you nonstop since Friday and we were eager to read your post. Janie said not to eat anything w/ Mayo @ the buffets b/c they let the food sit out for a long time. :)
    Take care and keep posting! We look forward to the news! We love you!
