Oklahoma was OK

We have had a great week in Oklahoma, and now we are ready to go. Tomorrow we will take a bus to the DFW airport, and we will fly nonstop to London. We have a full itinerary there, beginning with a two-hour walking tour -- designed to keep us awake!

Our students seem anxious to be on their way. We have had a full week of orientation and last-minute preparations. Keith has had a few tired moments, but he has been able to rest a lot and he is feeling quite comfortable. The travel agent thinks that she might be able to get him an upgraded seat on the plane -- we'll see about that! We have been duly impressed with the Office of International Programs here at OC, especially Mendy Kooi. As sponsors, we have a LOT of work to do this fall, and it's a pretty daunting prospect. The OIP, however, has definitely made our job easier.

We also had a chance to visit the Murrah Building memorial here in Oklahoma City -- a very moving site. Caroline got some great pictures with her new camera, like the one below.

Our next post will hopefully be from London! We will be staying in a hostel there, and we are uncertain about our Internet options.
