Off we go... Day 1

I'm post dating all of my journals (and fixing the grammar) from my People To People Student Ambassador trip to the UK and Ireland in the summer of 2000.

Today I leave for the UK & Ireland from Detroit. We have a group of 38, plus our 3 group leaders; Jan, Richard & Kristen. We are meeting our manager @ Heathrow Airport in London, tomorrow morning.
Leaving today was rough, mom and dad took me to the airport and then mom wouldn't let me go. Eventually, we boarded the plain and took off. I ended up sitting next to a guy named Mike. The flight was really long, about 9 hours.
