We Made It!
Well, we're here in our hotel in Lubin, Poland, and our wifi is working! Hooray! Well, most of us are here- Brad wasn't able to find his passport or get a new one in time to come.
We had some issues with our checked luggage. Chase and I were 18 pounds over the limit, so we had to purchase another piece of luggage at the airport. We would have just moved some of our stuff from the suitcase with our clothes to the suitcase with our supplies, but the supply suictcase was already 48 pounds (the maximum is 50 before you get charged $300-something extra!).
Our flight out of St. Louis was delayed, but our flight out of Chicago wasn't! We had just enough time to get to our terminal, take a potty break and a short rest before boarding our flight to Munich. I think half our team got sleep on the plane, but the other half didn't really. I fell into the latter camp. We did get a nap at the hotel before orientation and an awesome meal at a missionary family's home- grilled chicken, potato casserole, salad, and chocolate cake! We brought their kids a bunch of candy (including Fun Dip) and played some Frisbee.
Alaina enjoyed some Fun Dip...
...as did her big brother Aaron (whose eye is okay- he's wearing the patch to strengthen his other eye)
Bonnie, Joy & Chase relaxing in the home of Paul & Carline

Well, it's about time to get ready for day two!
