The week before the trip went well. It was easy because I didn't have to teach; we ended the week prior. I met with some of the group on Monday to go over what our teaching themes were going to be. Maryalice, Ariana, Jon, and Viviana showed up.
My only worry was the shoe dilemma. Claudia collected three hundred pair of shoes from friends and family. Kids, women's, sneakers, high heels and flats. The problem was getting them down here. One of her customers at Eatlian, an Italian restaurant she used to work at, offered to pay the extra baggage fee for everyone to take an extra suitcase/box. So On Thursday before we left, Claudia and her friends came over and we resorted and boxed up all three hundred pair. Niall and Michelle and Renee and Rich and Tom and Sue donated suitcases which was great. So we ended up with three suitcases, a carry-on, a duffel bag, and six boxes. On Friday and Saturday the participants came by and picked up a suitcase or box or I dropped them off at their homes. I was still worried if the airlines would give us grief. But I should have been worrying about customs.
