On our way to Quito

Today's departure was humane - most of the students met buses on campus at 9:15am, but our official meeting point and start for the course was the Delta counter at BWI at 10:00am.   In previous years we've start at 5 or 6am!!

Delta seems to never get our check in right, and this year was no exception.  The electronic kiosks could not be used for our checkins, so we were soon lined up for the agents.  Things did go smoothly, and security lines were not as bad as I had imagined.

Our flight from Atlanta is at 6pm.  To pass the time most of the students are visiting an exhibit of Zimbabwe art here at the airport. 

The next update will be from Quito.  We don't expect to arrive at the Hotel until 1am!
