PNG here we come!

Our journey to PNG began on Saturday 12 September when we had our final goodbye with friends at Southside...we then loaded 15 large suitcases and 5 carry ons and 5 backpacks into a few vehicles and headed to the airport. We traveled from Edmonton to Vancouver to Nadi, Fiji (with a week layover) to Port Moresby, PNG (and an overnight layover) before finally boarding the final flight to Mt. Hagen, landing on the 22nd September. What a journey! A warm welcome awaited us as we pulled into our new home. Our first week has been full of unpacking, starting school, going shopping for supplies, and feeling a little bit overwhelmed at it all. We also had a tour of the station here in Kudjip, plus a tour of TUMAN, both we will share about in other posts.
