And they're OFF!

The team departed from Regina Airport early yesterday morning! Everyone was looking bright eyed and excited despite the early hour. With the flight leaving at 6am, we met at the airport at 4:30am. And we were surprized how busy the airport was! There was at least 4 flights leaving that hour and people everywhere!

There was a slight tone of competition as people bragged how little "stuff" they brought, comparing how light their suitcases were. I think the unofficial winner was Bev, who has a bit of experience travelling.

Dale & Nancy Redford kindly came to send the team off. Dale lead a circle of prayer in the lobby with the travellers and spouses, then a few photos, and they were off. Got through the check in without difficulty, and away they go! After a few hours in Toronto, they will overnight in Lima, Peru. I am hoping that sometime today they will be able to post something of their trip so far.

Don't forget you can email the team at anytime, the address is step2bolivia@gmail.com . It would be wonderful to have lots of messages waiting for them each time they log in.
