Departure Day

We have good news, and we have bad news.


The good news is that our travel went off without a hitch. We left Huntsville at 6 AM on Saturday, had a way too long layover in Houston




(where we met up with a bunch of the Tennessee Rotarians), and arrived in Tegucigalpa on schedule.

The bad news... Our luggage did not make it. Not one piece. Nada. Zilch. About half the passengers on the plane were in the same position as we were. From what we could determine, Continental loaded luggage until they hit the weight limit and just stopped.



We rented our truck and headed off on the three hour drive to Choluteca. We checked into our hotel and met up with the rest of the Tennessee Rotarians along with Sergio and Roger from the local club.



We made a quick trip to a local department store to buy some clothes and toiletries.



Then we came back to the hotel for a late dinner. We had a good meeting over dinner with Sergio, Roger and Carolina. I will get with Steve to summarize that meeting.

It is now Sunday morning. We plan to meet Sergio for breakfast and then head to San Francisco to see the EcoStoves and talk to a few families. We will report soon on that and update our luggage status.
