I am so excited to get to Jamaica to experience a new country as well as a totally new culture. Even though I just ate a big breakfast I am watching everyone eat and I am hungry again. I ordered McDonald&#8217;s and ate with everyone else. After many months of planning and waiting the time has finally arrived, we are now boarding our plane off to Jamaica.<\/p>\n<p>We have arrived in Montego Bay, Jamaica and the plane ride wasn\u2019t as long as expected, it flew by. The airport is nice and the people are friendly. I have a new stamp in my passport that will be an everlasting memory of my time here in Jamaica. They have a lounge in the airport for the Sandals guests with free drinks and a nice lounge area to relax after the long flight. I could really get used to this pampering. Well ready to head off to Whitehouse, Jamaica by a three hour bus ride.<\/p>\n<p>Well we arrived at the resort, the bus ride was an eye opener, so many sights to see and the people we stopped on the side of the road to pass out toothbrushes and toys it felt so rewarding. The Sandals resort is amazing time to explore a little. Well it\u2019s been a long day I will catch you up tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up early off to the airport for my first mission trip in Jamaica.
