Hello everyone!

I arrived at orienation in Raleigh-Durham safely. The journey was good although would have been struggling to catch connection in JFK had the connecting flight not been delayed due to poor weather!

I was really pleased on the flight to have been sat with Nicola who I met at my interview in London on Mrach 3rd. We were also sat with another VIF guy from England too which was nice.

Once we arrived at the hotel we were checked into our rooms and it turned out Nicola and I had been put together too .... so after meeting in London, being on the same flight, going to the same county, discovering we had got exactly the same cases when we pulled them off the belt and now being told to share in the hotel room we figured someone was trying to tell us something!!

Anyway, so far, so good!! Seems we're both going to get on just fine. Met a few of the others from England tonight too and excited to see what tomorrow will bring.

I'll keep you posted!
