Transition...

Wow! Where to begin? I feel like time is standing still, yet in a sense yesterday seems like a year ago! I'll start with yesterday morning...around 7am our ride came roaring in the lane...thanks to icy roads we were running about 45 minutes late...but we wouldn't have been ready anyway. We thought we had most things packed and ready to go the evening before but somehow there is always lots of small details that needed to be taken care of. It was a strange feeling leaving our house for the last time. Well, hopefully not the last time, but the last time for a long time.

We got to ride in style, thanks to a kind offer from Virgil Nolt to take his bus that was converted into motor home. We were pleasantly surprised to see Joel & Monica Martin were along!

Our farewell committee we met at Dunkin Doughnuts...They had coffee & donuts waiting for us to grab and run since we were running late.

It was so nice the children didn't have to sit the whole way to the airport! We got in traffic and it took us about 4 1/2 hours instead of the 3 we were planning on to get to JFK.

Joel even had time to clean the windows while we were stuck in traffic.:)

We were beyond grateful for the all the help we had carrying all the bags and suitcases into the airport. Thanks again Virgil & Dolores & Joel & Monica!!!:) The only ones that didn't have a weight restriction were the backpacks (personal bags/purses) so we took full advantage of that! Kaylah thought she's gonna croak:)

We didn't have a minute to spare. Till we were checked in they were 10 minutes from beginning to board our plane.

Christi showing off her red mark from her heavy back pack. If they don't have misaligned spines I'll be surprised:)

 

 And here we are safely in Grenada! How ironic the dog in the bush is marking his territory at precisely the same moment I snapped the picture!:) I need to go to bed...I will try to post more soon...
