We successfully pulled out of the Westminster parking lot at
5:30 a.m. in route to Atlanta with our group of 22. Everyone checked in and made it through
customs for an on time departure from Atlanta to Santa Domingo. Just before we pushed back, a request from
the flight crew was made for medical help for a passenger. Jim Young and Tim Miller quickly offered to
assist the passenger but soon the airport paramedics were able to come on the
plane. After the passenger’s checked
bags were found and removed we took off to Santo Domingo. Reports of snow in Greenville were coming in as
we turned off all electronic devices.
Arriving about 3 hours later, Santo Domingo welcomed us with warm sunny
skies, beautiful terrain, and colorful architecture – the Caribbean. Wilfrido’s smile greeted us and a quick late
lunch helped us prepare for the final leg ahead. I learned that this is new to eat at the
airport and ironically the third floor had Denny’s, Burger King and Quizno’s
which fed most of the group. Two from the group ventured out for local food which
was on the first floor. Paul O’Neal
reports, “this is the last hamburger we’ll see for a week.” We arrived to our hotel in Barahona about
9:00 p.m. just in time for dinner. We are thankful for a safe arrival and look forward to church tomorrow with Wilfrido.
