The SSYP Team Rundown with Jeremy and Kiana




Three flights, a sleepless overnight in Miami airport, and enough coffee to fill an Olympic swimming pool later, the SSYP team has managed to have a fun, successful first day in Honduras. We're your co-hosts, Jeremy and Kiana, here to give you the rundown on the past 48 hours.
  • 10 people made it to Logan Airport
  • 50% of the people got stopped at security (apparently traveling with rolls of toilet paper and massive amounts of gummy worms is a crime?)
  • 0 out of 9 anticipated having to take a shuttle, outside, at Laguardia airport (especially those wearing short sleeves)
  • 9 of us made it to Miami; 4 chose to stay in a hotel, 5 endured an overnight at the airport #NEVERAGAIN
  • In a move that questions the identity of the group, 5 team members chose Starbucks and 2 chose Dunkin to start the final flight of the trip off right 
  • The group had a safe (but bumpy) landing on the famously difficult Tegucigulpa runway
The 9 of us arrived at El Hogar to an immense amount of smiles, hugs and a wonderful first lunch. After a brief tour, the group spent the afternoon getting acquainted with our home for the next six days. We played soccer, colored endless Minions and tried our best to keep the Jenga tower from falling again and again as the group spent an incredible first day hanging out and playing with the wonderful kids of  El Hogar. We are looking forward to Sandy's arrival tomorrow. 

Additional Fun Facts:
  • Jeremy was asked if he was Kiana's dad, since he's 53 (according to the kids)
  • Bella had to go back to Einstein's Bagels not once, not twice, but three times at 2 in the morning 
  • Franklin is a celebrity here at El Hogar
  • Kemarah is the candy queen 
  • The SSYP crew is extremely out of shape and got schooled at soccer by children half our age
Thanks for joining us! Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of SSYP at El Hogar.
