We're Here & now it's Day 2!

Who knew we'd have internet access! Move over Hilton hotels.... this is sooo much better! Hotels don't let you work hard all day so you'll sleep through constant traffic, barking dogs, crowing roosters, and the occassional gun shot at night!

Below are a few pictures of some of the action. We have had many blessings so far with our travelling, customs and immigration, and local support. "Normal" delays in getting access to the materials we ordered weeks and months ago are getting worked out.

The weather is fantastic - especially compared to the sub-zero temperatures at home!

Everyone is thankful of their supportive families at home and they pass on their greetings!

Have ticket will travel...

Everyone should have received their tickets last week. Please confirm this by replying to Shirley's email.

Looking forward to seeing the 1st week departures at the airport, and the 2nd week members in Jamaica.

Joel is working on his last minute email message to everyone, so watch your inboxes!

Soon & Very Soon...

As you can tell from the random thoughts below... we have now entered our "last minute" zone and things are getting a little hectic. Planning is coming together well, and our supports in Jamaica are being very helpful. The roofing that we are having done by locals has been started and should be complete before we arrive! Ground transportation may be one of our challenges, but it sounds promising.

My random thoughts on a Wednesday afternoon...

- Packing day is this Saturday at North York Temple (9am) if you can join us!

- Only 11 more sleeps for the 1st week group, and 18 for the second week. The first week group get one more night in their comfy beds thanks to Air Jamaica's change in flight schedules (for those who still think we're leaving Saturday - it has been changed to Sunday departure - same time).

- Two countdown emails have gone out.. if you haven't got yours, let me know, and I'll forward them on... I think I've caught anyone whose message bounced.

- Oops.. didn't get the devotions list out! Sorry !!! If you said yes - assume you're "ON".. and I'll try and get this out tonight...(note to self... expand To-Do list!)

- We have changed our overall numbers as well... down one and up two! Even with the flight changes we have been able to secure seats for a few last minute changes.

- T-shirts have been ordered and will be available at the Toronto airport. I'll have them for the first week people, Brian will have them for the second week group.

- Brian Bishop has agreed to be the week 2 team leader.. so look for him at the airport.. Here's a picture to help you out! (Brian's the third from the left)... guess his features are a little small to make out - but he should be recognizable by his t-shirt!
