1) Many of us had our first experience in "1st class" on a 767....(I only point out the size of the plane because I have been "up front" before, but never on a plane of this size...."there is a "HUGE" difference!!) We even tried to petition the pilot to fly around the island a couple times just so we could "enjoy the moment"..... :)
2) After experiencing that high on our leg from Port Au Prince to Miami, we found ourselves sitting in rows 34,35, and 36...(or something like that, on the next leg....) What a difference a few feet make....(no warm cloth....no warm peanuts....no warm cookies....heck, no warm anything sitting back that far....) the captain even announced that there would be an "in-flight" t.v. program of some sort and we were getting static for awhile...which I guess was due to, "no warm signal"....but we "toughed it out..."
3) We said our usual "good-byes" and what not...but we were privileged to all read a note left by one of the team members, (who will not be identified, "Doug" so as not to be embarrassed, "Doug") that prolly put into perspective how everyone felt this week....thank you, to all who were a part of this trip...it was a great pleasure to get to know you during this effort....(our team members came from Iowa, Indiana, New Jersey and even a few from Mexico I believe....)
4) "Thank you" to Caitlin for being the beneficiary of some of my best "wedgies" to date....it' amazing how one person can endure so much and still come back for more.... ;)
5) Thank you to my son.....you made this "old man" very happy! For being a part of something that means so much to me, made this trip a special one that I will always cherish.
6) Also to Matthew, for introducing the Indiana contingency to the sacred works of "ninja man"...I am sure they will be scarred for some time....
Here are just a few final pics....just casual shots of this past week...... :)
