We have arrived. It was a pretty smooth day. Flight left DIA on schedule and was a smooth ride to Dallas-Ft.Worth. As we were boarding in DIA the flight attendant asked where we were going and I told her we were headed to New Orleans. Upon exiting the plane in Dallas she looked at me and said "Do us proud!". I promised we would do our best.

During our layover in Dallas there was a very nice man that came up and asked if were were starting our mission trip or ending it. He wanted to know all about our group and where we were from. We talked with him and his wife for a while. He is a Baptist preacher that had lived in New Orleans many years ago. Come to find out, she actually worked at John Curtis Christian School. They let us know that they would be praying for us during the week and thanked us for going.

 We had a small delay leaving Dallas due to our plane arriving late because of weather conditions it had encountered. The flight from Dallas to New Orleans was not nearly as smooth because of weather. We arrived safely in New Orleans and rented the van and headed off to Wendy's. Before we could get to Wendy's it started pouring down rain. We were all drenched by the time we got into Wendy's.

We found our hotel - via the scenic route. We made up for not driving together all the way from Colorado by driving around in circles here in New Orleans. After we checked in we headed out to rent the tools we needed. Again....we took the scenic route.

Several people needed a few things so we found a Wal-Mart and got the necessary items which included a case of Coke!

Carla we remembered!

 After an afternoon of driving we were all getting hungry again so we hit the Quizno's across the street from the hotel.
