Pictures and Words

September 19th, 2015 my journey to Ghana started. My bags were packed, my expectations suspended, and all that I knew was that something amazing was about to happen. Six months turned into nine months, and every corner I turned was a new adventure. Now I have returned to America, and want to share these adventures with you. Everyday I will post and explain a picture from my journey, . 

These three pictures were taken the day I flew to Ghana. The trip started with a morning flight from Syracuse to JFK. I was able to check my luggage directly to Ghana which I was not sure would be possible. With a sad goodbye to my parents, it was off to New York City. Both flights were through Delta so I did not have to go through security or switch terminals. Had several hours to check in and relax. There was a bit confusion with my visa, which would be a common theme throughout my stay. After a small dinner and a bit more waiting, it was time to go. After a smooth 10 hour flight I crossed the atlantic ocean and arrived in what would become my second home.
