Houston, we have a problem.

Well, we had a problem. It's all been fixed now. But in Thursday morning, as I prepared for my epic trip, I received a call from United saying that my flight was MASSIVELY delayed. Great. So we rush to SeatTac and meet up with Todd, one of the leaders of my group. He and I were the only ones flying from Seattle, and therefore the only ones affected by this nonsense. But Todd sweet talked us into a couple of tickets on American Airlines (in the exit row) through Dallas which brought us to Rio an hour before the others. Nice. However, this means that we did not meet the others in Houston as planned, but we had out own epic adventure. (I apologize for my lack of creativity; I haven't slept yet.) We arrived in Dallas just as our next flit was boarding, so we went for a little jog. Thankfully, our flight went full, so we each got a row to ourselves. That didn't help me, though, and so I spent 8 hours of the 10 hour flight awake, wishing I was asleep. Todd slept great, in case you were wondering. We got to rio, met up with everyone else, and made it to Salvador. We just got to the high school where we are staying, and we have wifi here, so I'll try to post every day I'm in Salvador. That's all for now!
