Today Friday, March 20, 2009- the first official day of the 2009 Service Learning Trip to Negril, Jamaica. We flew out of Minneapolis, MN at 5:15AM today. According to airline recommendations, we arrived at the airport between 2 and 3PM. Interesting, Transportation Security Administration and Delta Airlines don’t begin checking baggage and persons until 4AM. Needless to say, we almost missed our flight due to the time crunch (but we didn’t so that was good). Our gate was changed at our connecting flight in Atlanta, Georgia so we had a chance to grab something to drink and a bit to munch on. By 10:00AM (CST), we were all quite tired. We made it to our resort, The Whistling Bird by 3ish. I’m pretty sure the word for the day is EXHAUSED. Nicole and I discussed the plans for the week with Kay, the leader from UW-LaCrosse. After an awesome Jamaican supper on the beach, several of us visited the local hangout, 23/7. Jon, the owner, remembered us from last year. The feeling of being at the Whistling Bird and going to 23/7 reminds me of being home. It’s so nice to be back.
