So, what is the worst thing that can happen for a mission trip leader? You got it! Your group gets seperated while running through Heathrow due to a severely delayed flight out ofChicago and nine out of eleven of us make it on our flight to Accra leaving the last two stranded in London overnight. Thank God I am one of the stragglers and have the company of dear Kristen. We are enjoying this luxurious airport hotel while the others are still en route to Accra. What tomorrow may bring is anyone's guess when it comes to travel these days. Fortunaltely the group going into Accra is in the capable hands of PatGardner and Edee Gutowski who have been through the Accra airport drill before, and I again marvel at how God works. And now that the worst has happened we can all relax and go with the flow.
Hey Ghana Group, hope to see you tomorrow night at the hotel in Accra, unless you have make the executive decision to go ahead to Kumasi wihtout us. It's ok, (sinff, sniff) Kristen and I can handle anything at this point.

ReplyDeleteOMG!! What happen to you two!! I guess you need to learn to run faster! So sorry. Kristen, you should have known after running out of gas on your way to DTW that that was just the beginning. Why didn't the plane wait for you guys?? God's got your side. I'm sure now you'll become "teachers pet" being with "the head leader.
ReplyDeleteAafe travels. Mrs. Roberts
Sure hope you meet up soon! How fortunate that there is an experienced leader with each group.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, You ask why the plane didn't wait for us? Good question and one Kristen and I tried to get answered in London. We think we finally got to the bottom of it. Our BA flight from London to Accra was oversold and since Kristen and I were the last to arrive at the gate-sorry Charlie-no seats. One of the BA agents tried desperately to get us on the flight so we were grateful for our angel who made us feel cared for in spite of the outcome. And, if you know anything about Heathrow, you know it is as big as a country so running to catch a flight is like a marathon. No it wasn't because I was the old slow poke, or Kristen. American Airlines screwed up our boarding passes and we had to make an extra stop. Travel is so glamorous.
