Back in the USA!

Written by 
Hi everyone!

Approximately 2pm est the team flew into JFK International in New York. They had to take a shuttle bus to LaGuardia, and had a 7 hour stayover until the flight later this evening to get to the Lake Placid area.

Heather called, and said "...the trip on the plane was long but nice.". She also reports that the rumors about the acquisition of cheeseburgers were untrue. She said she planned on "... eating one of everything on the $1 menu!"


I hope to get a call from Marcy when they get settled, and perhaps they can fill in the details of the last couple of days, as well as continue the blog from Lake Placid.


10:20pm update:

Kelley Foote (Blake's mom) reports the Atlanta-bound part of the Romania team have returned safely! Also, Ms. Susan may have lost her luggage (yikes!) and yes, Blake is VERY happy to be back home, and he did indeed eat a cheeseburger in Germany.

It's great to have y'all back home.

10:30pm update - The Lake Placid group has arrived in Albany, and is waiting for Claudiu at the airport to take them the rest of the way to the Training Center. The plane they took was apparently, well, one of the SMALL ones and she reports it felt like the ground crew had to come over & push it away from the gate when they left New York.

She also mentioned some of the team took the opportunity to snooze a bit more.
