Here we are, driving to JFK airport to catch our rebooked flight to Accra, Ghana. After our flight was delayed, yesterday, we had to come up with a contingency plan. As a group, we had a lot to decide and many options to balance, and as a team we did very well at proposing solutions, weighing the risks and benefits and deciding on a plan of action.
We stayed at a Ramada Inn, near Bradley airport, and got a good amount of rest. I was asleep by 9 and awake at 7, which was a good catch up night.
Though it was a frustration to be late, it was a good thing to be forced to slow down a minute, relax, and think of the trip as a mission of giving and experience, rather than just an extension of packing. I actually feel more ready to take on the trip and to be more open to the experiences – all of them, including the frustrating parts.
I am also very grateful for Nell coming along with us, since she has done this trip before and has acted as tour guide and travel arranger. She also provides a great level of calm, when things change.
We are so very excited.
May today’s traveling be free of issues for you all.
Hope you enjoy the warm weather. We were having a blizzard at 10 am Service time this morning and windchill below zero. Boy, did I think of all of you … LOL Service went well and the we had our Budget Meeting which lasted only 1.5 hours longer than hoped. We had a great team and got so much done. So, you all stay well and I love the blog! :)ee
