Today is traveling day for the D.R. Mission Team! Our day started in the middle of the night, traveling to JFK airport. Once we arrived at the airport, we waited in numerous lines for hours, hoping that we would not miss our flight. Things were smooth sailing once we were on the airliner. When we arrived at the Santo Domingo airport, things seemed to be much more organized than JFK.  We received our baggages and supplies with ease and without hassle. We loaded up the trucks and busses and headed for the Casa Pastoral dorms in La Romana!
