The Bellyflop

It's no secret that the days we experience in Jamaica are worlds away from what we are used to in our daily lives. As the team reflected tonight after our first day in Jamaica, we talked about how each of us has adjusted into the trip this year. Some of us have been in "Jamaica mode" for weeks, some still feel not fully adjusted. There are times in Jamaica that we aren't just leaning in or testing out something new or uncomfortable. No matter if this is a first trip, or another trip for a multiple-year veteran -- we take a full-on bellyflop into the week and deal with twists an turns as they come.

We were able to enjoy most of the day at Sophie's place today and spend a lot of time with the kids here. We held dance parties, read books and we got to help with the care takers' daily tasks with the kids. At the end of the day it turns out the 2012 HobokenCares Team has successfully made this bellyflop into what we now consider "home".
