The beginning! Wednesday 15th August

Ok, in short. We arrived to Dublin airport for our smooth transition into a nice relaxing departure lounge ready for take off. Actually we didn't! Apparently we are only allowed a temporary Visa to Mexico for 180 days, however, Delta had booked our "as much as we can" tickets for 184 days and were not going to allow us to leave Dublin. Good start. So we had to pay £150 to change dates for four days, and then we were set. After a few sad goodbyes we travelled from Dublin. Two meals, free ice cream, three movies and alot of turbulence later we arrived in Atlanta. Atlanta was warm, and very spread out. (That's all I can think of - it's probably nicer outside the airport.) Then we travelled on a flight from Atlanta to Mexico City. There was an excellent film on (Fracture - go see it!) which took my mind off the flying bit, and in no time we landed. We got our bags and met Christian Mackinnon who was there to collect us. We went to Jonathan & Lupita Morton's house (OMS Field Director), and more or less went to sleep! That's all I think... Oh aye, the weather was rubbish!
