The Itinerary

Well folks, its about that time.... Here is the itinerary for my trip so that you can follow along with where I am and so you know how to pray for us.

I have to be at the airport at 4:30 am... Our plane leaves at 6:20 for Miami and then we have a LOOOONNNNG layover and we leave Miami at 6:50 and will be in Managua at 7:30 (their time, which is I think 8:30 here?) Anyways we have to wait for the second half of our group to come in (about 40 mins later). We'll arrive at Casa Bernabe around 10 pm to settle into our rooms.
