If you never traveled with a group before, I have to tell you it can make things interesting and always seems to 
take longer than it should.(Not to mention adding into the mix the complication of trying to get 7 large boxes of 
candy canes shipped when finding out at the airport that there is currently an embargo on boxes going into Haiti.)
Although we cut it very close in making our flight, by God's grace, the whole team, our bags, and all 5000 candy 
canes made it onto the plane. Whew!
