Bon Voyage!
The NY Times says of today's blizzard, "The biggest winter storm in New York City history crippled transportation and commerce and knocked out power." But a little snow and wind didn't stop our intrepid young travelers and their families from getting to JFK and taking off for India, albeit a few hours later than scheduled.
Students, leaders, and the Flat Stanley twins just before heading through airport security--all hoping that Ashley's flight from Atlanta will arrive in time to join the group flight to Delhi.
With no time left before the boarding gate closed, Ashley arrived 2 terminals away and had to run through the snow because the AirTrain monorail was not running. Thanks to Rita Chopra, Air India agent extraordinaire who convinced the crew to hold the flight a few more minutes, she managed to get on the plane with everyone else.
