Hello everyone!
I have now been around the World and back and would love to share my experiences with you.There is much to say for such a short trip as we went on. :) But here goes!
We started out on July 16th when we headed to the airport around noon to meet the team and get checked in. When we got there everything seemed great but then we found out that somehow we were actually booked for the 12:15 flight instead of the 2:05 and we're not informed of this, and when we did not show they cancelled all our flights out. Big bummer! So they tried first to get us all on a flight together but had to resort to splitting us up in three groups. The first group of five (including Alicia) left for Charlotte, followed by the second (lead by Pastor Keith) that left for Philadelphia. Gabi and I, along with Mike and Lynn Lagermann were the last ones without a flight for at least an hour. In that time, we were told that we might not be able to fly out until the next day! :( Finally, after waiting three or four hours they got a flight for the four of us with the first group that left. They had been waiting to leave just as long as we had, only they had boarded and came off the plane two times already! The first was because of a equipment failure with the pilot's oxygen mask and the second because of bad weather in Charlotte. But in the end that was a blessing because Gabi and I, Mike and Lynn did not have to travel alone!
So, we joined up with the others and boarded our plane to Charlotte. After we were on board the flight attendants told us that we had seven minutes to get to the gate or we would have been turned around a third time! Praise the Lord we were able to make it with only thirty seconds to spare, even with an extra two minutes!
More later!
