For the moment it is saturday 12:15 (afternoon)! We have arrived safely in Mesa, Arizona. After waking up at 4am in Belgium, we were airborne at 12:00 Belgian time. 8 hours later, we had arrived in Washington DC, to catch our second flight to Phoenix which took us another 5 hours! In the end, we have arrived in Mesa at 04:00 AM Belgian time, which is 19:00 o'clock in here.
The trip was quite exhausting for all of us and we have been suffering from jetlag big time! In fact, we woke up at 05:00LT in the morning on friday. We had to be at SATC (Sabena Airline Training Center) around 9:30, so we took the van at 'The Spring' at 09:00 to get there in time. Once we got there, they took again some fingerprints! I think this was like the 4th or 5th time that we had to give our fingerprints.
In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to visit WalMart to buy some food and other things we found necessary to buy. Man, the stores in here are really huge! Just like the cars! Once we got back, we started cleaning our appartment because when we got here it was a big dirty mess, really! In the evening we went to Scottsdale to have a little party.
Our briefings will start on monday afternoon, so we have the rest of the weekend off. This can be quite usefull to arrange our appartment etc etc, and to get used to the way of living in here. The first flights will take place in a week probably. Below you can find some pictures.
