Anxious to set out on our adventure, all thirty six students, five teachers, and our families met at North on Monday to get a head count, say our goodbyes, and board the bus to O'Hare! The computers crashed at the airport when they started to hand out our boarding passes, and there was an air of tension throughout the group. Some people even said this was the first sign of the trip to come; not good. Once we all got our passes, we rushed through security and hurried to our gate. By the time we boarded our flight to LAX, tensions were beginning to ease. We ran into some more trouble in Los Angeles, however, with a few students who were having ticket troubles (myself included). Once that was settled, and we had boarded the plane, and we had sat for fifteen hours, we arrived in New Zealand to a beautiful rainbow, which told us to forget previous bad omens and look forward to a great trip! Aside from minor difficulties, traveling in such a large group proved to be fairly simple, and we were all excited to get started.
