Our first day

We awoke early in order to make a trip to the Columbia airport and arrive by 730. 12 of the 13 students have never flown before so I gave them their wings and they wore them on both legs of the flight! The moving sidewalk in Atlanta, The train between terminals, the shuttle bus in Fort Lauderdale, and the rental cars were also part of our day. We actually entered Everglades national Park and saw liguus tree snails, A variety of tropical birds and trees, and a very large alligator.  And yes, the mosquitoes are out!
