still here

well, we are still in CR, the plane has arrived, or a plane has arrived. Then the lady told us everything in Chicago is delayed an hour anyway, which may work out to our advantage if we can catch the earlier flight from Chicago to DC that we were anticipating being too late for. Someone may also develope a teleporter machine to "beam" us to DC before we can get there via airplane.

So we had to go through security here at the airport, and a funny thing happened. Annie was understandibly a little stressed (she teared up when the ticket lady asked for our drivers licenses) and when we got to the front of the line to go throught the x-ray machine the security guy looked in her purse, pulled out her 1 liter water bottle and said "ma'am, you will have to go dump this out, you can't take liquids on the plane." So annie looked at the guy with a stare that was a combination of stress and annoyance, and without saying a word grabbed the bottle from the guy unscrewed the lid and proceeded to drink the entire liter of water without a taking a breath.

Nice work Annie, that is funny. Hopefully you will let us know that the plane did make it to Hondorous and not Iraq. I am still a bit concerned about that:-) Hope you have a great start to your journey. 16" of snow and a blizzard in Indiana. Hopefully Luke can unpack his Speedo and get to work ASAP.

I do hope you made it to your hotel by midnight! I hate to tell you, but this is probably only the first of many stressful days ahead. I'm home today with boys. OSU canceled classes for only the third time in 25 years!

Annie- I can totally see you doing that! Good move! Sounds like your adventure has already begun without even leaving the US!! Atleast the sunny skies of Honduras are awaiting you!!

Saludos y muchos besos!!!
