Journal Entry #1

Monday June 14, 2010

I'm on my way! The adventure has begun! The flight to Miami was fairly uneventful. We did see oil from the spill.



(The line at the top is a bumper to keep the oil from spreading)
Very sad, but also neat to see it in a weird way. Spent about 8 hours in the Miami airport. People watched mostly. Lots of interesting people to see. There was a family traveling to Colombia right behind where we were parked and they had small, fussy kids, so Sue pulled out her Ukelele and sang to them.
The kids loved it, and after awhile the parents were looking less stressed and had big smiles on their faces!

Reflections:
(after each journal entry, I'll write some more about the day since I didn't really go into big details in my journal) At the airport in Miami, we all piled our carry ons into one area and a few of us sat with them while the others walked, shop or ate. Great team work ladies! For lunch I went to a Cuban restaurant where Jenn and I had jerk chicken wraps. I totally told Jenn that no, they really won't be that spicy, not thinking about the fact that Minnesota jerk chicken is probably a little different than Miami jerk chicken. Luckily she had lots of ranch dressing. I also shared a Guava and cheese pastry with Beth. SO YUMMY! And here's a picture of Lucy looking pathetic while she watched me pack:
