things we did not want to know that we learned today

This is not the raining season - that starts the beginning of June. In other words, Tuesday, the day we are hoping to fly out.

Tropical depression has taken on a new meaning, it is not just a weather term, it can be a medical term, and we did not learn about it in Pastoral Counseling this semester.

Delta airlines is really simply trying to teach us patience.

Delta's slogan is "safety first" clearly flying is not a priority and customer service never enters the picture - stranded in another country, we can help you out with a hotel discount - for only $60 a night you can stay in a luxury hotel - how are you going get there? Good question, there is no discount for that. (we are so thankful for the missionaries, WGM's guesthouse, and the transportation the WGM is providing - these are all expenses that we did not raise money for)

Delta airlines is changing their name to Delta landlines (ok, maybe not)

Even if other airlines are flying, Delta can still say they cannot fly because of the weather.

Oh no, we heard there might be snow tomorrow in Alaska, clearly the flights from Honduras will be canceled - we are not sure why, but we are learning patience!

Confirmation, they keep saying that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Is there a record for the number of confirmed tickets one person can have that they cannot actually use? We think not, but if there is a chance for the record book, we want to be sure our names are spelled correctly!

Today, with our confirmation number entered into the computer, the desk clerk asked for 8 people none of whom were on our team - really inspires confidence.

We learned Santa no longer uses reindeer, clearly he uses Delta, which is why he can only fly out one time per year! True story, he confirms his first flight in June!

Hey want to boost your countries economy? Don't let the tourist leave!

Packing is easy, we pack all we own everyday!

Who knew the airport could be a "no fly zone"

We don't actually know where the name Delta came from, but some ideas we came up with
DELTA - Don't Ever Let Travelers Arrive
Delta Exploits lost and Tired Americans
Delta Encourages Long Travel Arrangements
Don't Expect Leaving This Area
Delta Employees Lack Travel Assistance
Don't Expect to Leave Today Amigos
Don't Expect to Leave Tomorrow Amigos
Don't Expect to Leave To-Ever Amigos

We will keep you updated about our learning experiences!
Shushan, Julianna, Stephanie, Nick - maybe we should get some sleep

  1. Re-reading this is a real kick!It's a shame I was sleeping through the original brainstorm, but this is just hilarious! My grandfather loved the DELTA acrostics, nearly fell out of his chair with the last one!
