included movies, TV shows, music and a GPS map to give us information about our flight location and time of arrival. I personally watched a triple feature including "Death at a Funeral", "Bourne Ultimatum", and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and got a few hours of sleep. It was a relatively smooth flight with a few bumps along the way, but nothing substantial.LAX was very busy through immigration and baggage claim. We had some luggage and a few instruments that were delayed, but are on route home to be delivered to their respective students homes sometime Friday afternoon or evening. When Group Two arrived at LAX at 7:00pm it was 4:00am, Friday morning, Paris Time. We were a tired group, but excited to be home. It took Group Two several hours to get through immigration, baggage claim and complete our missing luggage form. We departed LAX around 9:45pm and arrived at Rancho Cucamonga High School around 10:45pm. Parents and students reunited and went home quickly to share stories of their journey and find their beds for a good nights rest. I am sure most of us will sleep in late on Friday.
Thanks for all the kind comments about the website, pictures and videos. I know first hand how difficult it is for parents and friends when their son, daughter or family member leaves for an extended trip. How do you answer the question, "what are they doing now?" I hope you enjoyed seeing and reading about our adventures in Paris. It has been a pleasure keeping you informed and sharing some of our experiences with you.
Congratulations to all of our students, parents, chaperones and a special thanks to Cindy Smit and the Paris Committee for coordinating this trip. Go Cougars!
French: "Au revoir" - Until we see each other again.
