It's been a long day and I'm exhausted, but here's a little update about the Whittier team. Only 9 of them made it in on Thursday and we drove to Kingston with them. The other 35 were scheduled for three different flights into Kingston today. The first flight finally made it but without any luggage. The second was fine. And the third flight made it after a customs hassle without luggage. The first batch of luggage was delivered later, and the second is expected to arrive tomorrow. All in all I was standing out in the sun outside the airport for 5 hours today.
This morning we took the team of 9 that we had as scheduled to a high school and a primary school in the morning. Everyone else chilled at the hotel in the afternoon. We had trouble working out the night event especially after the whole team wasn't to the hotel until after 7. We ate together and then decided to go to The Devon House, which is a local attraction with shops and ice cream. It's a good opportunity for people to just relax and talk with the Jamaican people.
Hopefully we're done with and big upsets for a while now, but you never know. We are in Jamaica after all. :-)
