Menlo Abroad Costa Rica flight - delayed again - but on its way

 Dear Parents,


There has been another delay. The flight from PHX to SFO is now due in Terminal 1, baggage claim #2, at 11:12 pm. It’s late, but it has taken off - whewI  and soon our kids will be home -- Hallelujah

A final note: The last few days have been long indeed, and Justin and Ella have been heroic in their handling of this difficult return. Thank you, Justin and Ella!

Parents, see you soon at SFO,

PS: And here’s a final thought along the lines of encouraging reflection on the trip (something to do once your children are well rested, fed, and recovered): you might be interested to know that the main event we had planned for our cancelled event this evening was a narrated slide show where each student was to present 1-3 slides emphasizing the inner journey of their travels. In preparation the students had taken photos documenting their times in Costa Rica. Their work this afternoon, then, was to be selecting the best photo(s) and preparing corresponding remarks. While these plans have been scuttled, students have (or should soon have) access to their photos. They might be interested in sharing these with you (or sharing some of the reflections they wrote in Cahuita, a related but different activity)…. So in good time, you might want to ask them about these things.
