We unloaded all the luggage from the bus and gathered it in one area just inside the door. Then we sat and sat on the floor—doing nothing—for two hours.

Then we sent our luggage , the stuff that goes under the plane, through the scanners.

When everyone got to the place where you sit to wait too board the plane, we saw the weather report: it showed tornado watches too the south and south-east, so every one got a little nervous.

The Belize group finely boarded the plane, an average size 737. A little latter, the plane taxied to the runway, got lined up, and took off. We took off in a small wind storm, so the plane rose above the clouds, it was very rough. The captain came on latter and told us that this would be a two-hour flight, so we sat back and cot what sleep we could.

Two hours later the plain touched down at Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport; a landing that was very smooth.

About an hour passed until we boarded our next plane, a larger 737 with more passenger room and wing-span. We sat in the aircraft for two hours before take off, because they were having trouble with the baggage loading machine, and there were like 25 planes ahead of us. But, with Gods help, we were finally in the air, on our way to Belize.

When we arrived at Belize City and got out of the plane, the first thing that greeted us was a wave of hot wind blowing from the south. Since most of us were wearing jeans, we all went to the bathroom to change into shorts.

At the front desk, they checked our passports and everything and cleared us through too the boarder. We made it through Customs with absolutely no problems—thank God.  

Outside the airport, we were met by Mr. Raymond and our good friend, Wilhem, who knows only one facial expression: a big, toothy smile.

We piled onto the bus too go to lunch at Subway! It only cost $3.50 U.S Dollars for a foot-long sub.

When we left Subway, we had to drive two-and-a-half hours on a bumpy road to get too San Elena; a small town with a lot of people.

The house we’re staying is a large, 2-story house with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, a kitchen, and tile floors. To tell the truth, we are living in luxury compared to some other places.

Later we all went to bed. Almost every body had been up for nearly 48 hours—we had no problems going to sleep.
