July Travel Schedule

Greeting Followers:
I finally published my draft from May 5th.  Less than 1 month to takeoff!


Its funny how the prices can fluctuate so much, a month ago, prices were around the 2,000 mark, 7 days later, about 1550, and then  2 week later, 1450.
We lucked out with plane tickets, but of course they have fallen again since then...

Rio de Janeiro International Airport. (code GIG)

We are booked solid and have a plan, and the good news is that we are not switching airports like last years group did in Rio de Janiero.  Living in NYC area, I can attest, America has nothing compared to the drivers in Brazil, and most, if not all, know how to drive stick.


So this years trip should be interesting:
We're flying out of Charlotte at 4:14pm on Tuesday, July 17. 
We will plan to leave Roanoke at 9am in order to get there, check in, etc.  
We're scheduled to arrive back in Charlotte at 2:57pm on Saturday, July 28.  
As long as we're not too delayed coming back through customs and picking up our bags, we should be back in Vinton by 9:00 that Saturday July 28th, evening.
The plan is to share something from our trip on Sunday morning worship at Thrasher UMC, July 29th.  Plan to attend!!!
