Arrived safely around 8am Monday morning. The flight left about 1.5 hours late. Entebbe Airport is tiny!
If I had to describe Ugandans in one word I would say FRIENDLY.
Not a lot of time to post, so briefly....Monday we were quite exhausted and took a long nap. The hotel VSO put us in was very pleasant, clean, had good food - I had goat stew last night! - and the staff go out of their way to help you.
Tuesday we spent all day at the VSO office getting our own personalized induction since we are 'out of cycle'.
Today we are being taken shopping for a mattress and a cooker and this afternoon we have a 4 hour trip to our new home near Mbarara. We'll be travelling by a VSO vehicle.
Next post.....the currency, the roads, the drivers.....

Glad you have arrived safely. I got your texts but haven't managed to work out dad's phone yet. I found a cheap number to call Uganda on only 7p/min so I will phone once you get a new sim. Let us know how your new home looks with lots of pictures please. The weather here is very miserable you will be pleased to know. How are you finding the weather there? Take care love Kathleen and Riaan.
Glad you made it safely! I'll be parked on your blog while you're gone! Let me know if you want anything from over here while your away...
fab news, I thought about you guys a lot the last couple of days wondering how your flight went and your first impressions of the people and the country. I can't wait to hear all about it! Take care and keep in touch.

GREAT news! We're still lighting candles here that you get a flush toilet AND a shower.
Absolutely pishing the rain here, but warmer - moths and daddy long legs everywhere.
Made brownies to take the neighbour tomorrow.
Aillidh enrolled at Sandback Primary nursery - there is no nursery attached to Strone - and she went today and LOVED it!
Still can't find my bankcard that Roisin lost. Grrrr.
Can't wait to hear more from you both and glad you arrived safely.

So glad you arrived safe and sound and I hope this is the begining of a wonderful journey for you. I tried to send you an e-mail but not sure if it went though. Can you please let me know?

So good to know that things are going well for you... can't wait to hear about the shopping trip and the house. Take care--we're thinking of you all the time.

Hooray Unka Danny and Aunt Annie!
We had a great time as always seeing you in Michigan and will enjoy getting updates on your blog. Tell Danny that Michigan has won the next three games it has played so things are looking up.
If Ugandans are friendly than you are in the right place!
