This year, however, the family trip included Christ Chapel, who brought 32 people; Fellowship Bible Church, Russellville, Arkansas, who brought 24 people, and Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas, who brought 4 people. Yes, you read that correctly, there were 60 people on the family trip and half of them were children between the ages of 6 and 17.
The Arkansas group arrived about noon on Saturday so I road to the airport on the bus with Guillermo. We wanted to be sure it was easy to find us so I stood outside the airport exit with a sign. We loaded everyone on the bus and on the way back to town we stopped for lunch at Burger King. With so many kids, the parents find it easier to eat in their rooms at night which makes a grocery store stop mandatory. After picking up water and all kinds of snacks we made it to the hotel about 4:00 p.m.
The two other groups were on the same flight out of Dallas, but their flight was delayed due to storms. Instead of arriving at 5:30, they didn't land until 7:00 p.m. It took over an hour for them to exit customs and immigration. Guillermo drove the bus and Stephen and I drove our pickup to hold luggage. Thankfully, they ate on the plane so we only had to make the grocery store stop before we took them to the hotel to check-in.
