De plane! De plane!

Several people have asked us what airline we are flying, what flight,
etc.
We don't know!
CityTeam has our tickets. Kathleen and David will take us to the
CityTeam offices around 10:00 tomorrow morning. We leave around
12:20 pm from San Jose airport. CityTeam will bus us to the airport.
Don Schottman says that we will probably be flying on Southwest,
possibly on Continental. We will probably make one stop; my WAG
would be Dallas-Fort Worth. We'll end up at the Gulfport-Biloxi
airport in Mississippi.
I believe we will be working in either Waveland or Bay St. Louis.
Here is a map:

We expect to be working with a team of about 20 people. CityTeam
deploys the teams as needed when they arrive. The team will probably
serve together, but we don't know yet what project we will be working
on. Most of the CityTeam work consists of assisting people in the
shelters. Most of the heavy work like putting on roofs is done. But
there is still a lot of cleanup to do, and we've been advised to bring
strong work gloves. The cleanup will probably happen mostly within a
church that was damaged, within a shelter that has been over-used,
or at a school that was being used as an emergency shelter. I'm really
guessing here.
