day of departure

A birthday gift never to be forgotten! We depart for Africa on Linda's birthday. We meet at the airport at 4:30 pm to weigh our bags adn check in as a team. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of family and friends who gathered to say "bon voyage". The Air Canada staff made the check in process so easy for us. Once checked in we said our final good-byes, had photos take, and Pastor Bob sent us off in prayer. We are so blessed to have an amazing group fo friends who came out to support the team!

We head through security and grab a bite to eat. As we are preparing to head to the gate, the team gets split up. A couple of us walk to the gate and hear the final boarding call for our flight. So... David runs to find Wolfgang and a few others so we can board as a team. With the eight of us in tow, we board AC 0898, destined to London, England; the first leg of our journey.
