Journal Entry
Saturday was the “packing party” at the Salem United Methodist church in St. Louis. Everyone brought their two donated suitcases, plus any donated clothes, medical
supplies, toiletries, etc. and unpacked them all over a big room of the church.
Then, we all grabbed some of each category of donated items to pack in our two
suitcases. That is so it would not look weird to the airport or customs if they
opened a suitcase and it had all shoes or shampoo, etc. Every person tried to make each of their two, checked bags weigh as close to 50 pounds.
Saturday
night we just hung out at the church, and played some games. I tried to sleep, but was only able to sleep for about an hour.
Sunday at 4
am we had parent volunteers come pick us up from the church to drive us to the
St. Louis airport. Our flight to Atlanta left at 7:05 am. We arrived in Atlanta
around 9:40 am est (10:40 cst). Our next flight (from Atlanta) to Montego Bay,
Jamaica left at 12:15 pm. We arrived in Montego Bay, Jamaica around 3 pm!
I discuss more about Sunday night in my Monday journal post :)
