We're Off

It's hard to believe but we're off and running. Well really we're off and waiting at a Vancouver hotel for our flight to Accra. Our day begins at 7:3o for a group breakfast then off to YVR for our flight. We are on a bit of a milk run as we head from Vancouver to Minneapolis to Amsterdam to Accra.

Accra is 7:00 hours a head of Vancouver so accounting for the time change we'll be in transit for about 24 hours...not counting the hours spend waiting at YVR!

It has been a push to get out the door and in the end I've had to bring some marking on the road with me! It all good in the end as I should have enough time to get it all done before landing in Africa. Every time that I thought I was ready I would find something else to do and just one more thing that had to be done before heading out the door. Of course I don't think it really hit me that I would be going to Africa until mom and dad showed up to take me to the ferry!

The team is working well and are all getting along well - good omens from the first day!? The highlight of our day was definitely our transportation from the ferry to the hotel. I made arrangements for a nice eco-friendly van to haul us all in...we ended up with a stretch SUV limo! It was quite a trip - Trevor and Matt took turns pushing all the buttons and playing with all the features. Sabrina announced that she "was already a rock star but now she got to ride like one"!

Well I should get to the marking...yeah right! I'm off to bed!! Go Canucks Go!!!
