We are here!

We are here! We are safe! And we are on time! Pics coming tonight.

Salt Lake

Made it to Salt Lake and our flight is leaving on time. Sleepy group!

 

Mañana

Well there's has been a little excitement due to Hurricane Earl, but it appears that we will be fine. 

The weather may get a little ugly but that can be fun. The rain in Yucatan is very different from the rain in Washington. When those afternoons tropical showers begin they hit you like a wall of water. The thunder somehow is scarier there, also. 

We may have some flight issues and delays but I'm confident that we will arrive without incident. 

The picture below is from Cancun today.

 

 

See you bright and early!

Preparation!

We are a little more than a week away from leaving and I can't hardly wait. The Yucatan is a place that is extremely special to me and every time I go I find that the culture's grip upon me has grown tighter and tighter. My wife and I often talk about someday moving there but that dream is probably unrealistic and I'll more than likely have to be happy with visiting every year or so.

I'm happy about the group of students that will be going on this trip. Every one of them appears to be trustworthy, responsible and (most importantly) fun. I know much has been sacrificed to go on this trip by both parents and students so Jen and I are going to do our best to make this trip well worth the work.

See you soon!
