estoy aqui!

I am finally here and settled. After a long day of travel and chaos.. everything is working out. I don´t even know where to start.
On Wednesday our flight was supposed to leave at 8:13... That flight got cancelled due to weather conditions and plane malfunctioning.. We were rebooked to leave out of a different airline 2 hours later that when to Texas. When we got to Texas our tickets were lost and had to rebook a flight to Mexico City. Once in Mexico city they couldn´t find out information and we had to beg them to rebook. We finally made it to Veracruz at about 11 p.m to find that our luggage was no where to be found. We waited around and it turned out that it was left in Texas. Our ride did show up and took us to the bus station. When we arrived there my host family was not there. Blah Blah Blah.. I finally got to their house and was asleep by 3am.. in order to get up for Orientation at 7. Without any luggage...and I mean any luggage (no toiletries, clothes, meds...shoes...books...) I had to survive to days. I was a wreck..
Our luggage arrived this morning and I was so happy to see that everything was there and in order. My cute little room is all set up and I feel more at home. This place is incredible in so many ways. I am using the family computer so I can´t go into much detail or download the pictures I have taken yet. I will hit up an Internet Cafe tomorrow to fill in the details.
I will say for now that I am safe and having quite the adventure already!
love to all.
Emily

YESSSSS, I am so glad you got your bags, Mom will sleep a little better knowing that.
I love you and am glad you are all in one piece now - you + luggage.

One more thing, you could add photos from their computer and just save them to the desktop and delete after you post OR get a flickr account. Just a thought my dear. Flickr will save you room on your computer and is super easy to use.
