We will try to include student authors as much as possible to tell you about our trip. Today's account comes from Danielle and Marissa:
The first day was the most interesting day of traveling for pretty much all of us. We started our day traveling in a coach bus to the Minneapolis Airport. Once we got there we did the normal suff like checking in bags and going through security. After that we petty much just walked around for a while until we had to board the plane. We had a pretty good flight, for some of us it was a little freaky taking off! We then landed in the San Diego Airport. It was pretty cool; you could see palm trees everywhere!
From the airport everyone, except nine of us and Dan (one of the chaperones), went to the ranch and set up tents. The nine of us that couldn't fit in the trucks, lucky us, got to take the bus. We went on a series of buses and one train for what seemed like hours. We met many interesting locals that were nice enough to help us out with when to get off. We met this one guy who saw our Jesus Trip shirts and started saying "I just was talking about Jesus and then you showed up." He told us this numerous times. Then he got on the same bus that we did. He told us his whole plan to pay off all the churches' debt. There's a lot more to this plan but we don't want to get into that right now, it would take up a lot of time. So anyay, we continued to take buses for a long time, we then found out that we had to get off because they didn't have any more buses to where we wanted to go. We then sat in front of JCPenney when it was closed to wait for a ride from people from the ranch. Then the security guard came up to us to make sure that everything was OK, we informed him that we were only waiting for a ride.
Later, when we were finally picked up, we went to K-Mart to get our sleeping bags that were waiting for us. I bet you saw this one coming, but when we got there they were closed. We found out that night how extremely cold it gets at night! A few people even slept outside, but then we heard coyotes. The night came and went and we were ready for the next day! Let's just say everything that could have gone wrong did, but it was a great experience.
