Arrival in Kingston

Well, I made it. I have been in Kingston for about 22 hours and really like what I have seen. When I arrived in Trinidad 2 weeks ago I was help back from immigrating twice and got pretty stressed out. The both times the lady told me to walk to the other side of this huge room and sit in the chairs all by myself, while I watched dozens of others stream through immigration without a problem. But today I was able to stay pretty calm and collected when they decided to detain us, me and Philip, in the Kingston airport. Evidently we had to show that we were going back to the USA soon and going back to Trinidad was not sufficient. After a bit of jockeying and confusion we were able to show him our return flights from Trinidad to the USA later this year.

Two crazy, fast, bouncing, and swerving van rides later we had dropped off our stuff at the Baha'i center, gotten some local food from the rosta cook house, seen a bit of the city and purchased a cell Phone for myself, Philip is going to try to hook his old phone up soon.

Last night we were picked up and taken to a local friends house where we got some beds, shortly followed by some sleep.

Today will be a couple of bus rides and a visit with a friend that we met in Trinidad who lives in a bit of a rough hood in north east Kingston. We are also going to try and get son money changed, and buy some more essential.

If there is anyone that does not know about this blog and you thing they should know, feel free to tell them.

Much Love
