Mission trip to the Dominican Republic - Day 6, 7, 8 – Homeward Bound

​Santiago – Atlanta – New York – Atlanta – Portland

Our trip home didn't go quite as planned. Our flight out was delayed so instead of a direct flight to JFK we stopped over in Atlanta causing us to miss our connection in New York. We were rebooked on a flight which took us back to Atlanta and then finally home the next day. The hotel Delta put us up in was very nice but all that for a 2.5 hour nap… All in all, it didn't dampen the wonderful experience I had this past week.

​I am so grateful I had the opportunity to be apart of the Portland team. I have made new friends and the memories will be bright in my mind for years to come. As many I interviewed on this trip, actually everyone, when asked if they get the opportunity to come back next year, would they? Without hesitation they definitely would, and I would too, without a doubt.
