Read on throughout this blog to hear and see what we experienced for 16 days. Please don't check the grammar for I am not the expert---I am just sharing from my heart what comes to mind when I look at the pictures. I hope you will enjoy the pictures and a little part of the story of what all happened. Leaving home, we had no clue what we were about to embark on that would touch our hearts forever. We didn’t have much time between our first flight from Chicago to London. After 35 minutes of navigating to the new airline and waiting in line for international customs, Alan realized his wallet was missing holding all their cash. Alan started sprinting with 45 minutes to board, while we started praying. Could he make it back in time? Would we all be traveling together or not? Alan had no clue what happened to his wallet. On top of that, it’s a requirement to have a boarding pass to go back through customs to the other terminal---airport tram, bridges, escalators, long runways. But Murphy’s law didn’t continue---Alan, out of breath, talked the agent into giving him clearance. He raced to the gate and found out an attendant had discovered his wallet on the plane who proceeded to scrutinize him to make sure he was indeed Marshal Alan Robertson. Alan was ready to snatch it right out of her hands to make the mad dash back. More good news---all their money was still intact. We cheered when we saw him darting through the travelers back to our gate! We have more stories of missed flights and lost luggage to South Africa. But on the whole we made it, all 56 of us, to experience the trip of a lifetime.
