We are home!

I don't think 20 people have ever been as glad to get home to Wichita as we were today! After a wonderful trip to Orleans and Paris, we were ALMOST home when our flight from Chicago was cancelled due to bad weather. We spent quite a miserable night in the Chicago airport, before being flown to Tulsa and riding a bus back to Wichita! Nate Hills flew direct to Salt Lake City to attend his Grandfather's memorial service, Tat had taken the train from Paris to London to visit friends, and Caroline and a friend went backpacking around Europe again! Carol Webb and I actually got to fly into Wichita this morning, and God Bless Dr. and Mrs. Green, who traveled to Tulsa and back to Wichita with our remaining students! Everyone is home and all luggage is now accounted for!
I am sure it is a trip that everyone will remember for a life-time. I hope to get some of the students to post their experiences and hopefully some pictures over the next few days as well. If you have a loved one who went on the trip, give them some time to rest up and then I am sure they will have MANY stories and pictures to share!
I want to thank all the students for being so great to travel with, and playing so well. Also a huge thank you to Carol Webb from Wichita Sister Cities and the Greens! We are GLAD to be home!
