Arrival in Maui

We arrived, but we had a few bumps along the way! First we missed our connecting flight in San Francisco because of long line-ups for check in and security, then there was no baggage awaiting us when we arrived here. We did get on standby on the next Maui flight and the baggage turned up to-day, mid afternoon. Otherwise the flights were smooth and we were met at the airport with Leis and hugs by the couple who supervise the volunteers here at Haggai.

The facility is much more modern than we had imagined from the website. In fact rebushing is an ongoing project of the maintenance crew. As well the classrooms, equipment, etc are very leading edge from a training standpoint.

The volunteers we have met are very friendly from USA, Canada, Australia and Ireland. The volunteers socialize together a great deal and there appears to be great comradarie. We get our work assignments to-morrow.

Participants are from most countries, in fact there are 176 flags on display representing the countries of graduates. The faculty are from many different countries as well.
