Welcome to Atlanta

I'm back in Atlanta! My flight back was a perfect ending to a great trip. During my flight from Ghana to NYC, the Black Stars were playing the Yanks. The pilot updated us at every goal and our plane erupted in cheer everytime Ghana score; a guy on the flight managed to bring on board a vuvuzela (large air horns at the World Cup) and it made it all the better! As we were about to land, the pilot notified us that Ghana had beat the U.S. and it was a cool ending to my Ghana trip to have everyone on board cheering for Ghana.
One of my favorite things about Ghanaians is that they appreciate little things. As we landed, most people on board started clapping. As I thought about how I just flew 8000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean while sitting in a chair, I too joined in clapping!
I'm glad to be back at home in Atlanta and I'm very thankful for the great trip I had to Ghana. Let's go Black Stars!!
