At the airport! Just checked our bags for the first leg.
The morning went smoothly, even though neither one of us could sleep much with the excitement! We are at the airport now, eating lunch at Granite City. We got through the first, most lenient of our checkpoints, and had our first devotional and blessing as a group. We number 29 pilgrims in our group, all together.
We are hoping that Chicago goes smoothly as we have to recheck our checked bags there, and in Vienna as well, and hoping we can use our special pillows to get some rest on the flight. So far they have let us keep our snacks, so we’ll see how long that lasts.
