Heading to Honduras 2011

Good morning to all. After being busy yesterday from 6am until 10pm (making sure that everything was ready to go), and a 3:30am trip to Walmart this morning for batteries...I think I'm finally ready!

Bob notices that the 2-3 weeks inbetween summer school and leaving for Emmanuel, I tend to get pretty excited about the trip. This year was no different...I just felt more rushed with a 5-day family camping trip just this past weekend - and cleaning up from that as well as packing yesterday.

My flight leaves Appleton at 6:30am and I'll arrive into Atlanta at 9:30am. From there I have a flight straight to Tegucigalpa (the capital of Honduras), arriving at 12:30pm. I'm still a little unsure of my transportation from the airport to Emmanuel, but am thankful that I know Spanish in the event that I need to take a bus.

I am not sure how often I'll be able to blog on here, but I will take notes daily and try to make it in to town a couple of times to update this blog. I did purchase a camera this year to take pictures, but am not completely familiar with it yet - most pics turn out pretty blurry (and I've read the directions a couple of times now). I guess I'll have to get the hang of it.

I'm anxious to see Blanca and Doris - and am hoping I'll get to say "HI" this afternoon!

Please keep my trip in your prayers and I'll see you all soon (arrival back to U.S. is 8/25/11). Feel free to help Bob out in taking a kid off of his hands from time to time if you'd like. I know he'd appreciate it greatly!
