I just received a message from my contact at the bus company. He also said the students all arrived safely at the airport and so did their luggage! His brother, the owner of the company, was there to meet them. That’s whose phone they used to call me. They were expected to arrive in the village at 7:00 am. I asked him to let me know if he hears anything else, and I’ll be sure to post again if I get new information!
Safe Arrival at the Airport!
The students have arrived safely in Quito and located their bus driver. They used his phone to call me! They are on their way to the village, and there is a possibility they will be able to make one call when they get there. I will post again if I hear from them!
Ecuador
The ASB trip to Ecuador will be leaving on Wednesday, January 13th. I will post another entry on this blog when the students have arrived safely!
And we have adventure!
The 2009 Gulf Coast team is already off to quite an adventure and it’s only day one! I often remind myself that if things always go perfectly, we won’t remember them. Our ASBers are certainly making memories this weekend. After a cancelled flight and a change in destination, we’re patiently awaiting their safe arrival in New Orleans, LA, where they’ll be greeted by a 12 passenger Camp Coast Care van that will take them back to Long Beach, MS. I’m looking forward to hearing their thoughts about their travel day…but I heard through the grapevine that the students are “being gumby” which is slang for Positive and Flexible! Thanks, everybody!
ASB is going live!!
We’re excited to be embarking on another new adventure in the world of ASB…the Gulf Coast team will be posting daily updates from Camp Coast Care in Long Beach, MS. Stay tuned for moment-to-moment posts from our ASBers in MS.
