Jet Lag!

Do you know what jet lag is?  Jet lag is caused because you go to a place where the time is very different from what you are used to.  So if you go to a place where night is when you are used to day and visa versa, you would want to sleep all day and play all night.  Here, when it is noon in the Philippines it is like 10 pm for Wyoming.  So when I got here, my body was all messed up.  For one thing, I hadn't slept very much or very well on the plane.  Then the time felt all weird.   It actually makes you feel kinda sick.  Surprising, huh?

This is a picture of our swimming pool at the first hotel we went to.  We stayed 2 nights there but it was pretty expensive ($200 a night).  

We found a friend at church who helped us find a different hotel that was half as much.  It was also way more family friendly.

We are having fun at this hotel but I got REALLY sunburned!  So sunburned that I peeled and now I look like a leper.  

Doing it!

So we finally got our visas and it was time to fly away!   Can you tell I'm excited?

at the airport at 4 in the morning!

Finally on an airplane!  (First commercial flight for me!)

The first flight was about 3 hours long from Salt Lake to San Francisco.  First time in a big city!!

Then we had to wait for 4 hours doing NOTHING for our next flight.  We had a little scare when we found out that we were at the wrong gate when it was time to board. My mom freaked out!!!   But we found the right gate and got on the right plane.  Finally we got on a different airplane.  This airplane was cool!  It had ipad-like screens attached to the seat in front of me.  It had movies and games.  The games weren't very fun.  But it had the movie Frozen on channel 8 and I watched it several times.  Because, the flight was 13 hours long!!!!  That's a long time to sit in a chair.  

Finally we landed in Seoul Korea.  First time in another country!!!

We had to wait for a couple more hours and then we got on a plane to Cebu.  

The last flight too about 4 hours.  Time to sleep!  When this plane landed, it really hurt my ears.  I was not happy.  We got into Cebu about midnight in the Philippines (about 10 am Wyoming time)

I got outside and it was hard to breathe  because of the humidity.  It was hot even at midnight.  Weird!

What you do while you wait for visas.
