The Sending

Chaos descended on the Lexington Airport today in the form of the Ghana team and those wishing them well on their journey.  Much of what transpired was expected.

Manny told tall tales....

 Jason wouldn't admit that he was on the wrong flight....

 But some people surprised us...I got to photograph Vicki's arrival at the airport (sorry, Jan!)

 We laughed and chatted while the kids ran around crazy (all of the pictures of the Aycock/Gooding kids were too blurry to post!)

 There were some new families with us....

 Some seemed excited to see their loved ones off....

 Others stared in disbelief when they heard that the computer system doesn't recognize two "Richard Thomas'"

 But that isn't what gave Susan this look...careful of exploding Mission Mail, there must be some really wild stuff in there....

 Vicki looks on in disbelief and Jan can only laugh, thankfully, we escaped getting arrested by the TSA yet again...

 And finally, they are all checked in and ready to go.

 And, at least two of them, made it onto their connection in London.

I can't wait to hear the rest of the story, can you???
