PARENTS+PAGE


 * I am not sure what time we will arrive but if we get a chance we will stop by before going to the airport. Michael talked like some of the kids wanted to eat after getting to Wichita but I am sure many will be ready to hit the road home. We are actually spending the night on Ridge Road so we might eat with him afterwards. But a glass of tea sounds pretty good if we can make it. Thanks for the invite. Richard Kennedy.

July 16 - In case anyone is interested, I thought it might be fun to get together before we go to the airport to meet the group. There is a McAlister’s Deli that is about 2 miles from the airport that should be easy to get to. I told them I didn’t know how many would be there and that we’d be coming at different times. They said we were welcome to put tables together or whatever if we wanted to. Greg and I are going to try to be there about 5:30 which should give us time to eat and get to the airport by 7:00 or so. If you get there before we do, just tell them there are others coming. McAlister’s is located at 7130 W. Maple, Suite 320. It’s basically 1 mile North of Kellogg (Hwy 54) on the same road as the airport. South of Kellogg the road is Mid-Continent Rd and North of Kellogg it’s Ridge Rd. McAlister’s is at the intersection of Ridge Rd and Maple. When we finish eating we can just drive straight up the road to the airport. So if you get to Wichita a little early, stop by McAlister’s and visit or get a bite to eat. And if we get the word that the flight arrangements are different, then we’ll just have a change of plans. If the flight is early we can get our orders to go and if it’s late we can stay for desert! LOL I don’t know about anyone else but I can’t believe the kids have been gone this long but yet it also seems as if the time has flown by! If you have any questions, just give me a call. We’ll see you tomorrow at either McAlister’s or the airport. Diann Adams (Erica’s mom)

Hello Everyone from Ireland!!!.. Everything is great!, no mix up in baggage at all, the delegate just grabbed the wrong suitcase at the airport. Everything is fine. I am so excited to get this opportunity to finally send some information. I am sure that I will be spending lots of time on here tonight trying to get everyone updated. At this time I must call my wife and talk to her for a short while. I will be back soon! Photos, Stories, and much much more! I am sure you will be as excited as we all are here.

Peace through understanding.**

What a great learning opportunity and life time experience you kids are having. You are making memories and friendships that will last you a lifetime. Live your dreamtime experience and bring home pictures, stories, and memories to tell us all. Thank you leaders for teaching, supporting, and the safe keeping of our student ambassadors. Have a wonderful 19 days. We already miss each of you. Richard Kennedy

**0450AM (KS time) Steve called and everyone is in Ireland. They are already off to do things. Only one small issue with a suit case that got mixed up with dads. Nothing express mail can't fix. From what I could hear in the background everyone is VERY excited and talkative. I will start the calling tree shortly. Traci Rankin**

They are in the air out of NY. Flights left on time. TRACI

Getting ready for the mad packing and double checking! Only a few days away!

So glad you have this web page for the parents. I think it will be very useful during the trip. Thanks for all your efforts, Steve.
