I made it!

I am in Chiang Mai, Thailand!  And I am exhausted.  It took about 21 hours in the air to get here, but I made it.  All flights went smoothly, for which I am very grateful.  Upon arrival at about 11 pm Thai time, we (me and two other girls I was flying with) were met by two staff members from ISDSI.  We spent the night at a guest house, and were picked up at 7:30 to begin class.  We began learning Thai right away.  I don't think I have ever received such a large volume of information in such a short time.  Hopefully I will actually remember some of what I learned!

I haven't met my host family yet...they will be picking me up from ISDSI in about 10 minutes actually.  I am very ready to get my stuff settled and take a nap!

P.S.  The weather here is lovely!
