And the journey begins....

At 6am this morning, a bus arrived at the Exit 61 commuter lot to pick up our punctual Slidell Crew and head off to La Guardia airport. Thank you, Magda, from Madison Public Schools Transportation for providing the complimentary shuttle service!

The drive was uneventful until we missed our exit, were barred from expressways, and headed deep into Queens. We saw several areas that were not on our planned route, but thanks to Jon Leckerling and the bus driver, Chris, we made it to LGA well ahead of schedule. Everyone is in great spirits (lots of laughing), and we are looking forward to getting to New Orleans, driving to Slidell and checking out the area.

More when we land and arrive in Slidell!
