We have made it to the airport safely and gotten through immigration without any problems. There are many people here at the airport trying to get home but cannot because their flights toward Europe have been cancelled from the volcanic eruption that happened in Iceland. We, however, are fine going to New Zealand.

Everyone in the group is excited about our trip. Many of us who have traveled together previously are reflecting on our prior trips together. It is making our anticipation even greater as we talk about all the fun things we have done together.

For now, we are at the airport waiting our plane to Seoul, Korea.
