After an entire day of travel (plus some really when you figure in drive time today), we made it to Swaziland.  No major hang-ups (you can read about some driving excitement here if you wish).  As for jet lag, we haven’t experienced too much.  We had a little trouble sleeping last night but I think that was more to do with excitement, thoughts about Mikayla, etc than anything else.  We purposely stayed up all day today so we could sleep well tonight.  This was a huge feat for me because I have what Ben calls “car narcolepsy”.  Meaning I tend to fall asleep the moment I hit the car!  I made it four hours today without sleeping…go me!

Ben and I have a running joke that we will have the cleanest windshield wipers in all of Swaziland because every time he reaches for the turn signal he hits the windshield wipers.  You see, everything is backwards when you drive on the left hand side of the road, including where the turn signal is.  It is very comical!

We drove a lot today, so tomorrow will be our first day of seeing the country and really getting a feel for life and people here.  We will try and get some pictures up later, but for now I must sleep.  Good night (or good afternoon to all you Kentuckians)!

  1. It is so wonderful to be able to keep up with you guys. Don’t worry about the jet lag, it will hit you on the way home.
