We’re off! So, are the Glover’s going or not?

The team met promptly at the Wichita airport at 2pm; all 21 of us, 42 checked bags, and 21 carry on pieces. Pastor Mehl dropped by to wish us Godspeed and it was much appreciated. After a team picture, we checked in without incident until the Glover’s arrived at the counter. Somehow, this first leg of our journey was “deleted” from the computer system; it had something to do with Libbi and Tamera leaving early. It will one of those unsolved mysteries. Anyway, after approximately 14,458 steps to fix it, all was well. The flight to Chicago left on-time at 4:40pm and was otherwise uneventful – which is a good thing these days.

We arrived in Chicago on schedule and proceeded to appropriate terminal. Of course, we had to leave the secured area and re-enter after receiving our boarding passes for our next two British Airways legs of the trip. All went well until Brenda Schewe tried to get through security with a boarding pass having Andi Schomaker’s name. Hmmm… But Andi went through security before her just fine! As it turns out, the British Airways counter agent issued two boarding passes for Andi Schomaker! Who wrote this software anyway? We left Chicago on-time at 8:30pm and arrived in London at 10am Wednesday June 6, dog tired but ready to see the sites.
