The wake up call came at 3:30am and surprisingly everyone got up without a problem. Maybe that is because some decided never to go to bed. After a quick breakfast at the hotel the bus picked us up at 4:15 am and took us to Dulles - AirTran terminal. The check in process was quit laborious and even though we got to the airport almost 2 hrs before takeoff, we only had 7 minutes before the doors shut once we got to the gate. Talk about cutting it close.
Our FIRST flight - which was the very first flight ever for many of the students - went very well (1 hr and 20 min) to Atlanta, GA. As we descended we could see snow on the ground. We has almost an hour layover and enjoyed some down time in the terminal - coffee, snacks and walking around kept us busy. At 9 am it was time to board flight 868 for Orlando, FL. Again things went very well and we arrived in Orland ahead of schedule.
Kristin - our course leader - met us at the baggage claim and gave us instructions for the day before we headed out to the bus with all of our luggage. Orlando was sunny but still cold - barely 50 degrees.
