Day 1 - Europe 2013


And away we go. Nora and Sarah Holtsclaw picked us up. We then picked up Kate and Delaney Banks and headed to Pittsburgh. We meet the rest of the travelers at 1 and then fly to New York at 4. We will then depart JFK for London for an overnight flight. I am always very nervous before a trip but probably even more so this time. The flying worries me - especially with the boys traveling. I don't have any control over the process of flying and I guess that is what makes me nervous.

The group assembled at the Pittsburgh Airport. I believe everyone is a bit excited.
 

This will be a fun group to travel with I believe. There are almost as many adults as students and we have been able to get to know most of the families in the build up to this trip.
We had a small (very small) plane for the first leg. My anxiety is not diminishing.

When we landed in New Your we had an odd long walk outside... then a shuttle to the terminal for our next flight.
 
We will be departing NY at 8:55 and flying overnight. With the 5 hour time difference we will arrive in London at 9:25 a.m. their time. Day 1 is mostly in the book.

Okay one problem...we don't have a plane yet...






We now have a plane! But it is overbooked...and we wait.
