And so it begins...!

Well, tomorrow is the day! I am all packed and ready to embark on an extraordinary trip- I can't believe it!

Today Alex and Mitch flew in to Jersey from Chicago and Norfolk, respectively, and the four of us are waking up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to get to JFK for a 10:10am flight. Our flight from JFK to Hong Kong will last 16 hours. Then we have a short layover in Hong Kong and have another 2 hour flight to Manila, where we will land at 6:30pm Philippines time...which I believe is about 5:30am in Jersey. We will be spending the night in Manila, and someone from the Stairway Foundation will be picking us up in the morning to escort us to the Stairway Foundation on the island of Mindoro! Hopefully I will be able to update more once I arrive!

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend!
Please pray for safe travel for Carissa, Alex, Mitch and me over the next two days!

Love.
