At the Airport:
Our day started bright andd early Saturday morning. Most of us met at Centra head office at 3:40 am.
Once we arrived at the airport we made the long journey through many check points.
Our flight was quicker than we expected into Houston but when we arrived at 1:15 pm we were told we would have to wait on the Tarmac for 45 minutes for a gate to open. Once we arrive we realized we just missed a tornado just south of the Houston airport.
Which led to a very long delay…. And many silly antics from our team. The airport had thousands of displaced passengers, cancelled flights, and a 3 hour customer service line up.
We were one of the fortunate groups and managed to all get on a flight to Managua at 10:30 pm Houston time….
Needless to say when our pilot arrived to take us on the rest of our journey the large crowd erupted in applause.
We were a little worried on boarding when myself and Anton were left behind because of the over booked flight. It was a nail biter… But we managed to just squeak on.
Our team is really looking forward to arriving at La Semilla to get a good night sleep. Our expected arrival is 1:15 am mountain time. Then the drive to the ministry.
Can’t wait to settle in and create some wonderful memories.
