New Tickets

We found a class through Portland Community College that I can take this spring to learn Portuguese. It is Wednesday nights April 6th - June 6th I think. Then the last month before we leave I can practice. Hopefully that way I will get the most out of being there and by the end of the program I may be at least proficient in the language.

We finally bought our plane tickets for the last leg of our journey. This completes our flight reservations and now we just need the hotel in Rio de Janeiro to email us back. Here's how our itinerary looks so far:
July 3rd - Fly out of Portland at 11:40 am to Dallas, TX (5:25 pm)
Fly out of Dallas, TX at 7:45 pm, to Sao Paulo at 7:50 am (July 4th!)
July 4th - Fly out of Sao Paulo at 10:10 am to Rio de Janeiro at 11:10 am
*Stay in Rio for 2 nights - see famous beaches and the Christ statue*
July 6th - 11:10 pm leave Rio and fly to Salvador, arriving at 1:10 am on the 7th.
July 7th - CCS representative picks us up at the airport at 1:10 am and takes us back to the home base where we hopefully can sleep all day. Then our journey truly begins...
On the weekends we will travel to nearby, and maybe some not so nearby, cities for fun and so Scott can see mission friends again in other areas.
...
Our program ends on September 1st at which point we will travel by bus the 8 or so hours overnight to Porto Seguro and Eunopolis for a few days then take the bus back and fly out of Salvador on the 5th around 3:20 pm, and get to RIo at 5:20 pm.
September 5th - Fly out of Rio at 8:45 pm and get to Miami at 4:20 am (6th).
September 6th - Fly out of Miami at 7:15 am and get to Dallas, TX at 9:15 am.
Fly out of Dallas, TX at 11:40 am and get to Portland at 1:35 pm.
Then it's Thursday and we are home! Then we rest and do laundry that weekend and I get ready for school to start that Monday. So sorry if you wanted to spend any time with us this summer. We still love you! And you're welcome to come along! Thanks!
