Hello parents!!!
We are thrilled to tell you that yesterday we arrived to Lakeland and that the trip went really, really well...
First of all, our 10-hour flight to Miami was pretty smooth and as we had little screens in each seat, we watched some movies and the flight wasn't that long. Once in Miami, we had to enter the USA and we queued for nearly an hour to get our approval. Then we had to take our luggage again and pass through the security controls and once we did it, we had some minutes left before boarding to our next flight; Miami - Orlando, which was really short as Orlando and Miami are only 1 hour away by plane.
The minute we arrived to Orlando, we collected our suitcases and then.... Our host families were waiting for us alongside with Teresa, the coordinator. We all met our families face to face and started speaking English!!! Some of them received us with big banners and American flags... It was a great way to start our American experience.
And today we have the day off to spend with our families and to get to know each other better, to unpack and, more important, to rest and have a big breakfast to take all the energy we need.
