First Day - Getting to Romania

Our team of 13 members met at Dulles Airport to embark on the first leg of our 23 1/2 hour trip to Romania.  We departed on our first flight, a 7 1/2 hour flight to London's Heathrow Airport, where we had a long layover.  While there, some shopped, some ate, some rested, and others visited the airport spa.  We then boarded our second leg, a 2 1/2 hour flight to Budapest, Hungary.  There, our Romanian drivers met us to embark on a long 3 hour drive, including a border stop, to Arad, Romania.

Upon our arrival at the Sunshine School, we were met by our host, Ovi, who gave each of us a big hug as if we had known each other all our lives.  We were treated to a large welcoming dinner of traditional Romanian Tsarmale.  After little rest in 24 hours and a big dinner, we all hit our beds for a needed night's rest.
