Julie dropped me off at the church with about 10 minutes to spare. The group was gathered next to the mini-bus that the church was providing for our commute to Houston. I say “mini-bus” since Adam constantly used that term, but perhaps a better description was “airport shuttle bus”. That should paint a better picture for any of you that have ever been escorted from your respective hotel or rental car station to the airport in the typical “mini-bus”.<\/p>\n

Our tour guide this evening: Pastor Adam.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stopped for a short time in Flatonia for a bite to eat McD’s and stumbled upon Marlene and Matt, who were traveling separately. Fueled-up and filled-up, off we went. One caveat… no place to put my biggie-sized drink!<\/p>\n

We got to Foundry a little after 10pm, and unloaded those that were staying at the church. Girls room = soft cushiony floor. Boys room = typical hard floor. Adam and I took those that opted for “no floor” to the hotel and came back to catch some Zs.<\/p>\n

Six o’clock in the morning came pretty quick, or not quick enough, depending on how you look at it. Many nights in a tent have trained me to sleep on an unforgiving ground, but “sleep” is a relative term.<\/p>\n

Up and out of the church by 7am and at the airport by 7:30. We parked our shuttle and got picked up by a REAL shuttle (much softer seats, but still no cup holders). Check-in was a breeze and security was a snap.<\/p>\n

Up next…. Costa Rica!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
