Ray and I awoke at 6 am to complete our packing and obsess about details, like whether I will get checked in for the flights. The group had their tickets changed and four of the eleven apparently could not check in in advance. (Some kind of strange and disquieting message about no trace of an eticket for us) I spent an hour yesterday on the phone with United to no avail in straightening it all out. So, we will head out in prayer and patience for the mission adventure.
Rereading our folder of directions, I noticed that we should not overpack. I fear that we have overpacked because we crammed our checked cases with extra health items and "personal toiletries" which we will leave in Ghana when we leave.
Thanks to all who have sent greetings and promises of prayer as we set out.
FPCAH PW has scheduled their September meeting to hear about the trip. So I need to scoop all of it in and take good notes.
Phyllis comments on life in general in retirement as well as travel with occasional bits about grands and family. Matters of religious faith, mission concerns, and political thoughts may appear. We look for humor where we find it.
Miles to Go
As I (Should this be "we" because my husband of many years joins me in the journey?) embark on retirement with expectations of joy, writing, travel, and another third of my life, I have chosen a mission trip to west Africa, Ghana in particular, to start. Several friends have initiated blogs with international travel and mission work recently. And I enjoyed joining their journeys so here is my effort.
Please offer gentle comment as I bump along the blogger's path.
