We all arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed to the Finley YMCA at an energizing 4:45am this morning! BIG SHOUT OUT to our bus driver Bobby Battle and Leigh Longino, who both got up extra early and made sure we arrived safely at RDU. Also, another shout out to all of our parents and Y Directors Gordon Sinclair & Randi Gressel for getting us all to Finley on time. As you can imagine, a big ole group of excited and enthusiastic YMCA people can turn some heads...with that being said, we saw 7 different people we knew, including a Kerr YMCA parent AND a YMCA of the Triangle Metro board member! These small connections at the airport were a great kick start and an encouraging moment for all us. We began to get excited about the amazing relationships we are going to create with each other and the children of Costa Rica!
Our layover in Charlotte has been pretty uneventful...well, except for the GREAT laugh we all got when a participant fell off the moving sidewalk b/c he was sitting on the railing! We wont say who...cough, cough, AUSTIN, cough cough :) Well, we are off to San Jose! We should arrive around 2:3opm Costa Rica time, and we will immediately head to camp to work with the children. We can't wait...WOO HOO!
