Long day of travel!! We gathered at York at 8 am and after final packing and distribution of mission shirts and caps got underway via bus enroute to National/Reagan airport in DC.
We made good time to DC and then enjoyed the process of unloading our 40 fifty pound equipment crates (plus our carryons) and getting them into the airport and through check-in. The “enjoyed” comment was sarcasm.
Our 2 hour wait in the airport gave us time for lunch. We then boarded our plane only to wait another hour while they fixed a battery recharger. This delayed our flight to Miami which would have meant missing the only flight out to Ecuador that evening. Fortunately, with 27 of us and 10 others expecting to make that Ecuador flight, American Airlines wisely held the flight for us.
We landed in Guayaquil around midnight. After going through immigration and customs and getting our crates out (they all arrived!!), it was 2 AM until we were in our beds.
Ecuador is in the same time zone as Etown. Really! Look at the map, below:
