Bringing in boxes
Andy and Sean help the airport porter The First of Many Hurdles:
The Zambia 13 boarded the plane in Denver this morning! The group arrived 3 hours early and with the help of a friend who works for United Airlines, all of the boxes and bags were loaded on the plane. United waived their extra baggage fee, but the group had to pay the South African Airways fees. It was quite a scene; bringing in all the boxes, marking them, loading them, getting tickets... . The pictures will give you some idea, but everyone was nervous about just how many boxes and bags United would accept. But the group is over the first hurdle. The plane is loaded and they are in the air.
All of the adults seemed tired. Most of the kids seemed excited. Either way, the Zambia 13 have set out. Meghan (number 14) and Sandy will be waiting in Lusaka at 9 pm tomorrow night. So there is lots of travel ahead and plenty of time for the adults to catch up on their sleep and be ready for the experience of a lifetime.
