It's Saturday morning and our whole team is settled in awaiting our flight to Belize. We have had an incredible journey! You will all understand when we have a chance to post the pictures.

The good news is that we are all safe and sound, sane, and laughing. The bad news is that half of the group was taken to the wrong hotel last night with 9 50lb boxes & 3 50lb army bags--- this hotel was part of the same chain, but about 20minutes away from the correct hotel that the rest of us were at. Once this was taken care of--- and we were able to unload all of the boxes and army bags into an empty ballroom--- we ordered pizza and went to bed about midnight.

Our wake-up call was suppossed to be at 5am and first shuttle to the airport at 6am--- about 4am we lost power (due to a severe storm) and, fortunately, I set my cell phone alarm (as did a couple others in the group)--- Cindy and I were running around knocking on doors at 5:15--- in the dark--- down strange stairwells--- making sure that everyone was up and we were ready by 6am.

Now, this is less of a problem at home, but when traveling it is truly a pain. Taking a shower in the dark, lugging all your luggage down 4 flights of stairs and using the bathroom--- all with no flashlite and only the light from the laptop and cellphone--- thank GOD for backup batteries!!We were able to get to the airport on time, check all of our boxes, army bags, and luggage and be sitting down by 8am--- STARBUCKS IN HAND BY 8:10!!

I am excited to post pics from our escapades as soon as we get the the Jungle Dome!
