The Sozo/Flatirons Construction Trip - Day 1

If you received my daily email updates you've seen most of it, but not all. Since my return I've added a few notes and comments which I've put in blue italic type so those of you who don't want to read it all again can pick out the "new stuff." <g> I've also added a couple photos from each day of the trip, which weren't always in the daily updates.

If you'd like to see more photos from the trip, follow the link to the left.  I took many of them, but the rest were taken by other team members Levi Dockendorf, Jeff English, Dave Harrison, Jordan Kejr, Micah Kirkwood, Michal Kmita, and David Pesek. Ron Barnes was there, too, but usually too busy keeping track of the rest of us to take photos. <g> If you'd like hi-rez copies of any of them just let me know.

We met at Denver International Airport at noon for the 40+ hour trip with stops in Minneapolis, Amsterdam, Dubai, and finally Kabul. We received a warm send-off from family and several Flatirons members who aren't going.

We got all the travel documents distributed, drew straws to determine which of us would be responsible for one the seven team bags, got 'em checked, and went through airport security. It's finally starting to sink in... we're really on our way!
