Traveling to Hosanna House
Saturday, May 16th, Darlene Eberly and Wendy Burkett spent the day traveling to Belize. We were driven to Dulles at 3:00 am by Anne Donlon. THANKS ANNE!! :)
The trip went rather smooth considering Darlene had injured her knee a few days prior to leaving. Our only hang up was getting out of Dulles. Due to bad weather, Charlotte had halted all activity for about a half hour. We weren't late getting to our connection to Belize, but it was an uncomfortable time crunch, especially since Darlene wasn't walking too quick. We knew that if we missed flying out of Charlotte, the next flight to Belize is in a week.
Once we arrived in Belize City and found our luggage, we headed thru customs. Bob's porter friend gathered our luggage onto the cart for Darlene and me. That was Greatly appreciated! [I found the correct bald Belizian porter this time, Nelson! ;) ]
The best part of Saturday was being greeted by 7 of the Hosanna House girls! After many, many Hugs, the girls grabbed the luggage and threw it in the back of the van. It was great to see familiar faces and meet new ones.
On the way home we stopped at Diamond, a Chinese restaurant. Everyone had fried chicken and French fries, with the bones taken home in a doggy bag for the dogs. ;)
This is video of those goofy girls after dinner on our way to Hosanna House.
The rest of the afternoon was spent unpacking, freshening up and relaxing. I know it took me some time to go thru my suitcases to separate my belongings from donations sent by others.
For Dinner, Bob took Darlene and me into Dangriga at a restaurant called Ivy's. Bob found that Ivy's served some tasty pork chops so he wanted Darlene to experience them as well. I ordered a shrimp burger which was awesome!
