We Are Back In Grenada

Well, we made it back to the island for another year of school! The good news is we have finished one degree and now have one more to go, but two more years here. Randy and Betsy are here with us for our first week here seeing the island. We have all had a good time but they are getting an up close and personal look at all the frustration we deal with on a regular basis!

We had a terrible time getting back to Grenada! Usually we fly American Airlines the whole way, however, this trip we decided to try Air Jamaica. Our first flight from Atlanta to Montego Bay Jamaica was fine, but, it went down hill quickly! Our last two flights were a nightmare! For both of the flights there was not enough room on the plane for all the passenger's carry-on luggage (because the crew was taking up a lot of the space), so some people had to "check" their bags to be put with the cargo...well we were some of those passengers! We had to check two of our carry-on bags. Also, at both stops in Jamaica (we flew from Atlanta to Montego Bay Jamaica to Kingston Jamaica to Grenada) we had to go through security all over again, which was unnecessary because we had not crossed security but for some reason they make everyone do this! During our trip here (from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm) if we were not sitting on the plane we were standing in line somewhere! The trip here was terrible...needless to say we do not plan to buy any further tickets with Air Jamaica! Not only was the trip terrible, but when we got here I was very home sick and missing Tee (our dog) like crazy!!!!

We have been busy getting registered and attending orientation this week! We have been on a few tours...I hope to post pictures later! We picked up our books for class today...we had 16 books to pick up, this is only one set of books (we will share them) for the semester and two sets of class notes. We have been very busy this week! We hope to sleep in tomorrow to catch up on some lost sleep.

One last note...you may have noticed our blog looks different. I found a website of someone who designs the look of people's blog. So, I contacted her and she did this completely for free! I am really happy with how it turned out! Check out her site...Great Gabbie Design!!

We are getting settled back into our room and we will be starting classes on Monday! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we start this new and trying time!
