They're off!!

Good morning! My name's Bob Streilein and I help coordinate the Exploring Medicine course and culminating trip. I met the team this fine, brisk , still dark, morning at 3:30AM in front of one of the employee parking decks. The scheduled time to congregate was 3:45AM with a departure for the airport at 4AM. The enthusiasm evident despite the hour bodes well for this year's experience.

Everyone made it to the meeting point .... at the designated time ... with their assigned bags AND passports on time!!! The caravan of cars loaded with luggage and team members departed for the airport at 4:01AM. Dr. Clements will call me from Tegucigalpa, Honduras upon their arrival around mid day.

Cheers to all the family and friends who have enabled yet another year of Exploring Medicine to occur. More to follow....
