Where do I begin. I have to say that it was hectic getting to the airport because there was still much to be done. I am thankful to my brother who is house sitting. So we catch a flight to Jersey, but we encounter an African family of five on our way to the ticketr counter. There are 3 small children and they have 15 min to get through security and get on the plane. I felt bad for them as I watched then run in the direction of the gates.

I am pairing photos with the journal entries, but unfortunately they have to be small or they are really bad quality. To see the photos larger (and good quality), click on the view all button in the trip photo album above. Day 1 is the easy entry. Travel day. The only comments I can muster about travel day are.....the flight is too long, the seats are too small, team VT gets real tired (code ...
