We think we made it out of the hotel and to the airport with
all of our luggage (except for Levi’s pillow).
Checking in that many people and bags proved a little challenging, but
it went okay except for a slight problem with Matthew’s ticket (they don’t
allow babies to travel with one way tickets).
It took awhile to get through security, since there was a
long line. By the time most of the group
was ready to go through, the De La Cruz family had gotten things settled with
the ticket and were put in the fast lane to join us (thanks to David’s problem
solving skills). Most everything went
through security okay – Abel left water in one disposable bottle (which was
confiscated), and they didn’t know what a bread machine was (all the
interesting things you get to carry when moving a family…) We think we got everything after going
through security – if not, it’s too late to get it now.
After riding the “plane train,” we made it to our gate –
with just enough time to refill water bottles, stop by the restrooms, and
purchase some lunch. Our plane took off
around 10:35 a.m. and we should be arriving in a few hours.
We received several comments and questions this morning
because of our shirts – including the lady guiding people through security
commenting loud enough for everyone around to hear, “Jesus is the one that died
on Calvary for our sins.” We can’t wait
for opportunities this week to share that!
Lisa, for all the team
