On Our Way...

4:15 am sure came early! Team Bolivia met at the airport, got our luggage checked in, headed through the security gate on our way to this great adventure ahead of us! Right now we are on the last 1/3 of our 3 hour layover in Denver, waiting to catch our flight for Miami. Good thing there are a few more things to do in DIA compared to the Billings Airport. Everyone is still a bit tired from the early morning, but smiles are beginning to perk on people's faces as they get their morning does of Caribou Coffee!

Here are just a few glimpses of the trip thus far:

* Garrett, flying for his first time tried getting his liquids through security in a 1 gallon ziplock bag... I guess even after graduating, it's hard to tell the difference between a gallon and a quart!

* As we prepared for our approach into Denver, the Flight Attendant mentioned we would be preparing for landing... "and in the case of an emergency, leave your carry-on luggage behind"... who says that? Did she think there was going to be a problem... or maybe she just remembered seeing everyone sleeping through her pre-flight instructions on how to fasten a seat belt!

The day has just begun! I did call Team Mexico upon our arrival in Denver. We have made it 500 miles, they were about to take their first break in Bozeman! Sure love to fly!

If the Miami airport offers Free Wi-Fi, I'll update again before our flight out of the country! In the mean time, continue praying for safety as we travel and for things to go smoothly in Bolivia with getting our visa's and making our way into the country.

Thanks for all your prayers! We are EXCITED!!!

Hey Paul, thanks for the blog...a great way to keep us informed. In looking at the American Airlines website, it appears you just landed...5 hours late and about 30 hours after you showed up at the Billings airport: do you still "love to fly"?

PS: American's website for the Santa Cruz leg of the flight says "Arrival City Changed"...huh???
