We left Mosinee at 12:00AM and drove four hours to Chicago where we were scheduled to depart from O’Hare at 6:30AM. You know, it’s not a good sign when you haven’t boarded the plane by the scheduled boarding time. We were boarded and ready to go by 6:30AM. Opps! Not quite going to leave yet. One of our plane’s wing flaps weren’t functioning properly so we had to have mechanics help us out and get us back to functionality and safety. I theorized that it is better to have plane problems prior to departure, right? We finally left Chicago at 8:30AM, now a full two hours behind schedule. Most of our group utilized this time wisely by getting some much needed sleep. Nicole left a message for Robert, our driver, that we were running late. We later found out that he didn’t get it. He just hung around outside the airport in Montego Bay waiting for us to get there. He was just as excited to see us as we were to see him. He is a such a good man. He helped us to line up our work for this trip at Grange Hill. We meandered the roads of Jamaica to Grange Hill school where we sized up the project we have ahead of us. Tomorrow we will make our first stop to the hardware store for supplies. For tonight, we will soon be eating and most likely going to bed early. It was a very long day of travel and the four cookies we each had only went so far.
