Well about two hours in we started smelling fumes. After multiple stops to breathe without chemical inhalation and quite a few delays, we made it to Philly - 11+ hours later. One perk of extra long delays is being able to sit outside and read.
I felt so exhausted and sick as I met my team for the first time. We had quite a drive back to camp, but it was nice to have people to talk to and fresh air to breathe. The normal excitement of meeting new people is some thing that I always look forward to for camp- so I wasn't going to let a lousy bus ride ruin my day, although it did slow me down quite a bit. The girls were awesome when the picked me up and it was nonstop getting to know each other the whole drive in. I loved it!
We arrived right as program was starting. Perfect timing!!! 
It was so exciting to be in the audience, seeing the excitement that lies ahead. Even though my travel day was such a mess, the beautiful reward of being at camp and having praise and worship with 200 teens made it truly a beautiful mess. My heart is ready as this "Minimission" beings! God is so good!
Today is jam packed with mass, program & training. I cannot wait to spend time with these people that will soon become my summertime family!
