The flight arrived early to Guatemala and the girls have begun their trip to their first new home away from home looking out on the volcanoes surrounding Antigua. Mario, our local driver greeted them at the airport with a van which will carry the girls and all their backpacks and group gear up to where the road ends. From there, the students will be met by Briane and Drew, who will help the group lug their gear down to their rooms. From here, the students will have an early homemade dinner and turn in after a couple of big travel days. Stay tuned for updates from overseas by early next week as well as my commentary too. For now, sit back and relax. You deserve it. You have all worked hard to get your daughters ready for this amazing adventure. It's time to become flies on the wall, watching from home, supporting with your love and wishes, and waiting for their first calls home in a few short weeks. Please let us know if you have questions or concerns along the way.
Cheers,
Jennifer
Thanks for letting us know they are there safely. Would love to see those human "LLamas" carry that gear down path....
ReplyDeleteI know how quickly time flies for the girls, slowly back home.
ReplyDeleteHow very exciting for the girls and their wonderful mentors/teachers to be starting on an incredible journey. Bruce and I very much enjoyed meeting the "new" group of girls, and teachers and parents in Houston. TTS20 was such an inspiring, incredible experience for not just Abby but also our family,so we look forward to TTS21 with "open arms" and can't wait to live vicariously through this amazing group for the next 15 weeks.
ReplyDeleteIf any parents have any questions about the TTS program from a parents perspective, please contact us. We've been down this road just a few months ago when Abby was in Africa last fall.
Until next time just remember that you have given your daughters an incredible gift that she'll be able to use for the rest of her life!
