This post is frm 3/20/2013.
Today did not go entirely as planned. We went to the school got checked in which took a few hours to do. Shops did not open till 9/10 am and out school meetin was scheduled for 11am. 11-3 was spent at school running to a bank to pay up, getting receipts, collecting IDs, and meeting the different deans of our school.
Dr. M allowed us to use to school car to get to the airport.
We made the car wait as we made a last minute dash to the bank/money exchange to get some TSH (tanzanian shillings). With our luck, one of our credit cards got eaten by the ATM and we FLEW our way to the airport through Tz traffic.
Thankfully, we made it on time, slept the entire flight, and landed in Arusha. I leave u w some pix:
Premier Palace hotel == which to us at that point seemed like Nirvana! :) Warm showers, 27$ per person per night = made for some restful sleep.
**Nat noted that it rains EVERY early morning in Arusha. ** that morning, as expected, it rained.

So cool Megu. I finally read your blog, and your adventures in Tanzania sound amazing! You always did know how to get the most out of the countries you visit. I'm jealous that you got to see the Bottlenose dolphins up close, and actually petted giant turtles.
