On our first day we were all really excited because we knew we were about to start the best trip of our life.
We left our house really anxious to spend our awesome time with our family of exchange students, who we hadn’t seen since January. We were so happy that we could barely sleep in the airplane!
We arrived in Phoenix and it was super hot so after we checked into our hotel, we all went to chill by the pool for a few hours. We caught up with each other and learned how everything was going for them in their host cities.
It’s so interesting to think that 51 people from around 27 countries could be sitting together and bonding and speaking in our common language, English. It was as if no time had passed at all, and our friendships were still very strong despite the fact that we had all grown and changed a lot.
After that, we had dinner where Rapha, our tour coordinator, told us the whole plan for the next 13 days. We couldn’t wait to start this crazy adventure, the West Coast Trip! When our meeting was over, we had some free time to hang out in the hotel lobby and then rest for our first tour day. Welcome to Phoenix!
