Leaving Lynchburg

Just chillin, Lynn giving last updates, Boarding the plane, leaving Lynchburg

Here we go!

The adventure begins early Monday morning (for my teens, anything before noon is early) as the teens and parents arrive, each with a different smile. Smiles with excitement, confidence, reservation. and "we're cool lets get this thing started” all rolled up in into one. For some of the parents (maybe all) throw in a good dose of ‘my baby or ______ is going for two whole weeks to Germany without me and I am feeling a bit _________. Mindy and I went over last minute details with each teen and parents. Lynn reviewed again what to expect at the airports and what the first day may be like. When the flight was called you could sense the next level of excitement, they gathered for the obligatory group photo and got into the first security line. Just a reminder for all, don’t try to carry on a full tube of toothpaste or a full can of deodorant. They do check and reject!

The small plane took off on time. Thomas Schreiter call early Tuesday morning to let us know that all had arrived safe and sound at the host home.

Welcome to the Glauchau 2007 Blog!

Greetings, everyone!

Can you believe it's been over a year since our inaugural group of students along with two parents/chaperones went to Glauchau in April, 2006? (See picture of our students with their new German friends!) A lot has happened since then! Not only did the group have a wonderful experience visiting Glauchau, we hosted a group of twelve students and two teachers from there in October. And, as of April 30th, Glauchau officially became our sister city! Whew! It has been a busy year!

So, here we are with another group of area students leaving for Glauchau on June 18th, and Lynn Dodge suggested setting up a blog for the students to keep in touch and post news about their trip. So, now we have a blog set up!

We invite all of their parents and friends as well as our Sister City members and friends, here and in Glauchau, to visit the blog and post comments for our travelers or the folks at home. Let me know if you have any questions about using the blog at my blog e-mail address: bbsistercity@gmail.com.

We look forward to all the news about Glauchau!

Barbara
