China Bound!

(Ms. Viz)

As always, the morning of departure comes with excitement and a bit of apprehension that things go smoothly and the group gets off without a hitch. Compared with the major snowstorm and the delays of last year, this morning was a piece of cake, until we noticed that Emily's name had been misprinted on her ticket! At least 10 people must have proofread the ticket before departure but never caught it. Luckily she was able to fly but will have to undergo special security searches. With her backpack filled to the brim it will make life a bit more interesting! Nevertheless, this group's good spirits could not be daunted by such a minor glitch. Their enthusiasm and excitement are unmatched. It was with a mix of joy and sadness that we said goodbye at the gate; they have been a pleasure to work with and Dover-Sherborn is very lucky to have them as this year's exchange group.
