Our mission began at 10:30 on Tuesday morning. We took 2 hours going through security and checking our luggage. This meant, however, that we just barely arrived in time to board the plane. The duration of the flight was about 4 hours, and many of us chose to spend it watching TV or sleeping. We arrived in humid, hot New Orleans and rented our car for the week. These vehicles were promptly named "Earl" and "The Shiftmobile".(One purposefully named lesser than the other, you decide which). We decided to change the original plan to find a restaurant, and headed for our air b&b for dinner. This air b&b was especially exciting, because it was described as being for "celebrities and rockstars". This large, modern space was very cool and relaxing for us San Franciscans who were melting in the New Orleans heat. We ordered pizzas and then got to know each other better through conversation in small groups. We loved each other's company, and are excited to continue adventuring together.
This first day was full of anticipation, as we prepared to arrive in New Orleans and didn't know what to expect. The initial difference from San Francisco that we noticed when arriving in New Orleans was the heat. At first we felt miserable, but knew that we would soon get used to it. Overall, the first day left us feeling excited to begining our journey together.
