On our way!




Our day started at 2 this morning at Finney's House. Thank you again Finney's for everything. Our shuttle to the airport picked us up at 2:45am and we were on our way. Traveling to the airport there was only 7 of us: Jolleen, Jenn, Aaron, Barrett, Lillie, Tara S. and myself Holly. We made it thru security with no problems and boarded our plane at 5:30am and left for Ft. Worth, TX at 6am. Most of us slept on the plane and others looked out the window. We arrived in Ft. Worth, TX at noon which is 10 am in Washington time. The flight was not too bumpy but that is flying. At Ft. Worth we were able to have a wonderful lunch as a group as we had a 4 hour layover. After lunch we found our gate we needed to be at and then broke out the Uno cards. Needless to say Jenn no longer likes me to sit next to her after she had to draw 18 cards and then Aaron made her draw 14 cards! Thank you Uno! We had to wait to board our plane due to electrical problems and the heat was amazing down there...we lost count after 100+ degree weather. On our flight down to Guatemala we were able to spread out and almost all of us slept again. The flight going down to Guatemala had more turbulence. I do have to say that Tara S. did an amazing job on the plane. For everyone who does not know Tara S. is afraid of flying and Jolleen talked Tara S. into sitting at the window seat and look out. Tara S. said, "That is was amazing to see everything like that." Great job Jolleen!! We arrived at Guatemala at 7pm and got ready for customs and immigrations. Almost all of us was stopped at immigrations but poor Barrett was pulled aside and then released back to us. The shuttle to the Barcelo hotel was waiting for us along with Gloria. Also to let you know Guatemala time is only 1 hour ahead of Washington time. We made it to our rooms and then meet for a late dinner and now we are off to bed!! Good night High Pointe and keep us in your prayers!!
