London Bound- Day 1

The day has finally come!  Jordan is off to London with his HS marching band.  I will be posting his daily activities for each day.  I have the London time in the sidebar so you know what time it is for him.

At 11:00 am I dropped him off at the school.  I got a nice picture of him,  thanks Jordan for letting your Mama take a picture.

11:15 am  Band Room-- there is excitement in the air.

Getting instructions- he is about middle to the right a bit.

Jordan is assigned a London family, however this is his travel family.   London Family are his friends he signed up to be with, travel family are assigned alphabetically-- these are the R's that are near his name.  They have a RA- responsible adult (parent) who is assigned to them-- she is also an R.

Jordan's family heading to the buses-- 179 students are going to London.

The charter bus taking them to the SFO.  Jordan and 3 other boys are assigned luggage duty for bus 2.
