The team arrived about 30 minutes late in Managua after a fairly uneventful pair of flights out of Omaha and Houston. There was a bit of a delay as they were leaving Houston. And the descent into Managua took about 30 minutes and a few members of the team had ear aches from it. Otherwise, everyone flew just fine.
As you may have heard very few of the checked bags made it to Managua. From the information Linda Rice gathered, the bags never left Omaha. I spoke with a representative from Continental on Friday night and she said that they hoped to be sending the 31 bags tomorrow at 11:13 am in Managua.
The team drove to Masatepe that night. After their drive and getting organized, they finally bedded down after midnight (that would be after 1 am our time!). The girls stayed in a 'motel' (nothing fancy...but most of the rooms had air conditioning which was MOST WELCOME!). The boys stayed at 'the finca' or the farm, bravely going without air conditioning!
They were scheduled to leave on a bus at 9 Saturday morning for the interior of Nicaragua to a region called Terrabona. Linda Rice and a few others stayed behind to retrieve the bags and then drive the three hours to Terrabona to meet the team.
