We started off on our trip for Brazil today. We left the church at 10 am and drove up to O'hare. Check-in was every bit as stressful as we had hoped. For starters, the mower box weighed too much. We were over by FOUR pounds! We took the smaller box out of the larger box to get the weight down and the lady was checking it through for us. There it was rolling down the conveyor belt when out of nowhere, a guy in a jacket and tie put the nix on it. "Haz-mat item" he stated to my dismay. Despite my "No, buts..." his decision is what counted so, there you go. No mower to Brazil. Thankfully, Ron was around to take it back home for us.
He almost had to take home something else...a member of our team! They were giving Jon a hard time about his visa but ultimately he was cleared.
The flights went smoothly and we fell asleep (off and on) somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean.
