THURSDAY, JAN 6 - FLY FROM OKLAHOMA CITY TO LONDON

Leave Oklahoma City

I'm not sure this is an Oklahoma City Airport picture but you get the point. On the afternoon of Thursday, January 6, all members of the Volunteers in Mission team were to be at Will Rogers Airport no later than 4 pm. We were recovering from a mild ice storm that day but everyone made it. After some scurrying about to possible (NOT) catch an earlier flight, we regroups in the waiting area and Scott had us introduce ourselves and we prayed for a safe and God-filled trip.

We eventually got on our original flight to Chicago. It left a little late which gave us very little time to change planes in Chicago. But we all made it (minus one small carry-on bag filled with childrens toys that got left on the OKC-to-Chicago flight - oh well).

The flight from Chicago to London Heathrow was uneventfull and everyone made a noble effort at actually getting some sleep.

We had a 7 hour layover in London. Some took their luggage and climbed into a rented taxis for a few hours shopping at Harrads. The rest of us poked around the airport, posted a few messages to the weblog, called home, read and got better acquainted.
