And We're Off ... Almost




So what were you doing at 430 this morning? Having fun? Sweet dreams? Enjoying the morning air?

Well, the HHI/Rotary Team was waiting to board our flight to Houston. The lines were short and the check in pleasant as those things go. Jon dropped us off so we were done before we knew it. So like the Army, it's hurry up and wait.

We'll be meeting Judy Johnson in Houston and flying on later today. Her flight from Jacksonville, OR was delayed by fog or some such thing. So we'll meet her there as our party grows: kind of a seven Samurai thing. The initial weather reports are for rain and thunderstorms. Jon has promised clear skies and we're going to hold him to that.

As we were waiting Dan Cool (His name really is "Cool".) an engineer with Garmin joined us to scope out a site for a new clinic near Lago de Atitlan. (I'll get more pictures later.)

Wilma has proven to be the wise one so far. She brought herself a cheese sandwich.
