Apologies in advance for the quality of this post… I am nearing a point of deliriousness, but wanted to share a quick update since our arrival in Romania.
Just before noon we made our way out of the Budapest airport. Unfortunately, we had to leave two bags short... Janii and Samm's bags did not make the journey. Thankfully, both girls are handling the situation with grace and patience.
Our group loaded into two vans and buckled down for the last leg of our trip, a 155 mile drive into Oradea, Romania. We drove through beautiful sunflower fields, past a couple of meager towns and by several rundown, institutional-looking buildings.
When we finally arrived at the hotel, our gracious hosts awaited. Thank you to Adi, Lavi and their beautiful daughters, Becky and Sai, for providing us with an incredibly warm welcome to the country.
After a massive baggage unload and a quick "fluff," we sat for dinner at a local pizza restaurant located on the bank of the Crisul River. After a long meal and many more laughs, we are (finally) off to bed, or if you are cool, to the party in room 218 "where the Dustin's GreenHouse Ladies get in for free." (Don't worry parents, the party is in Lorna and Briana's room and they are playing board games.)
A bit of airport humor collected over the past two days:
"They have the same message here; sex sells."

"I asked the lady if they had a water fountain and she told me to use the water in the toilet."
~Ashia Neal
"I have already taken 125 pictures and we haven't even left the airport."
~Kathleen Harrington
"I just met a dude from Israel and officially shook his hand. How cool is that!"
