OUR TRAVELING BEGINS

On Saturday we traveled to the Detroit area and went to a home where we were leaving our car and would be taken to Detroit Metro Airport. When we got to the airport we checked in and went through customs. We met Rev. Tom Robinson, former chair of the Detroit Conference Liberia Task Force and Rev. Bill Haggard, Grand Rapids District Superintendent in West Michigan. They are attending the Liberia Annual Conference also. We left Detroit and flew to Dulles International Airport in Virginia. In a short while we boarded a United plane headed to Brussels Belgium. It left at 5:50 pm Eastern time and lasted 6 1/2 hours. We had cheese and crackers as an appetizer.  Then in a little while we had dinner. We did not watch a movie but we did sample the games and some TV shows.   Then we slept or rested for several hours. We were wakened with a breakfast croissant and an hour later we landed. The time was 6:45 am Brussels time – 12:45 am Eastern time.   So we missed the night as we flew over the Atlantic Ocean. To get to the gate for our next flight we had to go to a different terminal. We went to waiting area then took a shuttle to the other terminal. Now we are lounging and waiting several hours until our flight to Monrovia which leaves at 12:15.
