We are all sitting calmly at JFK waiting for our flight to Greece. Departure time is 3:50 so we still have about an hour and a quarter before we board. We have exhausted the shopping possiilities in our little neck of the airport. A few are still out rambling around. I learned my lesson–a salad and a beverage for lunch $25. Opa!!
Jordan says, “Send money. Gypsies everywhere!!” Then he laughted. –I don’t know.
Catie says, “The gypsies haven’t gotten me yet, so don’t expect the Mercedes, Sara.”
Collins says,”Be blessed and stay under God’s umbrella.”
Amanda says,”I’m alive and well and Ian is taking care of me.” I can attest that Ian waited for her to board the RIC-JFK flight so she could get a little snack. Very nice. Nothing like travel to test one’s compatibility.
Lisa and Carol are hanging at the gate. Conversation is slow. We are all a little tired. It may be that we need a conversation starter from John.
OK. This blogging thing is a swell idea, but I have a book to read. More news in the morning from Athens–assuming wi-fi at the Ionis Hotel!!
It’s hard for Rex and I to believe conversation being slow. Have a great flight and enjoy Greece. Send lots of video and photos.
Please let Catie know that if the gypsies do take her (which at this point they’re about 15 years late), they can forward payment in gold and/or cash directly to me. Curses and checks will be returned, and once they take her, they can’t send her back. I have a very strict no returns policy, so buyer beware. I’ll also be expecting a bonus since it took them so long to come get her…
My only real request is that I’d like a photo of her cleaning car windows for change at a stoplight, if possible. I’ll even take one of her mending pots or stealing small children if the latter is unavailable.
Love, Sara
PS – Have a great time in Greece!
PPS – Catie, try to take care of yourself… After all, if you get hurt I’ll have to sell you at a discount.
This is such a fantastic opportunity for all those traveling with Ms. Wentworth. She is a fabulous professor and will make this trip educational, fun, and exciting for everyone. Go JTCC and hello to Collins Riggan – great grandson of Michael Bitzarakis born in Greece in the 1890′S. Can’t wait to read each and every update. Blessings to all!
(Shelby, Hey Momie, what is it like in Greece. I love you and miss you). ( Hope, Hey Momie, I love you. Will you call us and I miss you.) ( Koty, Hi Mom, I miss you and love you. Try not to get sunburnt and have fun).
I live less than 15 miles from JFK–you flew over my house! You are no doubt exhausted (and asleep) by now.
How exciting for everyone. If you haven’t felt jet lag yet, then get ready for it. I travel a great deal and know it can take the rug out from beneath you if your not watching…..
Enjoy Greece as it is a memory of a lifetime. I have been there and it is never far from my thoughts. Wonderful place “but watch for those gypsies!!!!!!” ha,ha,ha,
Keep the news coming – Everyone enjoy your trip!
Will be watching for more exciting news and pictures
Made it to Greece – in various states of disarray, but quite content to mix it up with the locals!
Keep the updates coming. I hope ya’ll are having a good time.
Waiting to hear some news from the JTyler group about their trip. What’s going on over there. Last I heard is that you were all in JFK. Give us some more updates!!
Hope all are having fun
Jordan,
Are the gypsie’s holding you for randsom? If so, all we have is your 4.0 GPA and your national chess tornament trophies. Not much else buddy, sorry. Hey you took fencing lessons right? Use that to your advantage. Ya, I think you’ll make a great gypsy!!!!
Hope to see you on the return, if not we will know what happened to you. But you will have so explaining to do to your girlfriend ha,ha,
Seriously, hope you are having a great time and learning lots. We all wish we were there also?
JORDAN,
WE ALL MISS YOU MUCH, HOPE YOU HAVE MADE NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND LEARNED MUCH (OF COURSE, ENJOYING YOURSELF ALSO).
TAKE CARE AND HOPE TO SEE YOU REAL SOON. MISS YOU MUCH.
