Day 1

And we’re off!! Our morning started off early and very chilly, all 33 of us arrived with at least two suitcases with many over 50lbs full of donations at CBU bright and early to load up the bus. After picking up a few stragglers in St.Peters we sped on our journey to the Halifax airport. Johnathan Lake arrived to the airport with 25$ in his wallet along with 2 melted credit cards... lucky for him his mama is along for the ride with a big fat wallet and ankles to match!! While walking through the airport our shirts brought lots of attention from people asking us if we were close to Saskatoon, do we have igloos and if we can actually preform CPR. Katie and Morgan had great intentions of living off their jars of peanut butter for the two weeks but we learned quickly that you can’t smuggle peanut butter on your carry ons. Debbie Cantwell was all ready to eat her firken burger that very quickly was swallowed up by her backpack. When arriving at our gate to head to Toronto we were all entertained by Belinda donning her TED stockings and doing a little dance for Dr.Phil. After a quick layover in Toronto and unsuccessfully trying to convince Jennifer to play her fiddle, we soon realized Jonathan and Daniel were MIA (what else is new). It was finally time to board our flight and embark on our 11 hour journey in the air. We are very grateful for everyone that helped us get to take part in this experience and are looking forward to updating you all more on our activities in the coming days.
