On our way

We have made it to Atlanta our stop between Sioux Falls and Buenos Aires. Have a long layover here and will fly overnight to Argentina arrive in the wee hours of the morning. So the first leg of the trip started with a bone chilling early morning in BROOKINGS at -9 degrees as we headed to airport but glad we got out of South Dakota before the next big snowstorm was to hit, and we don't want to rub it in but our tour guide said its 89 degrees in Buenos Aires and hot.

Found a Blue and Gold decorated Christmas tree in Atlanta airport...a great way to send off  a group of SDSU students to South America just a few days after Christmas.

Everyone is doing well and taking the trip fine just have to get through the travel leg before we can step foot on the ground in South America and start our adventure. Hope you will continue to follow our progress.

Raining here in Atlanta as we soon get ready to board the plane, but hoping for no delays. It's a 10 hour flight to Buenos Aires and we are all looking forward to some sleep after are 2 a.m., wake up calls this morning. And very excited to see our travel guide JORGE on the other end when we arrive.

 

For some students today was their very first flight, so a big day, but all doing great and ready to see the sights in Argentina.

We will sign off now and be back to you once we land in South America. Hoping all our friends and families are safe dealing with the snowstorm hitting eastern South Dakota and Minnesota
