It is 1:18 our time. 12:18 Honduras time. Just spoke with Frank again. The plane from Houston was diverted to San Pedro Sula. For what reason they would not tell Frank. The desk clerk did tell him that flight 756 (Houston to Tegucigalpa) (which is 755 on the return), was only 30 minutes from Tegucigalpa. That conversation was a good 10 minutes ago.
If that is the case, and they do get off even at 1:32 P.M. Honduran time, it would leave them only 41 minutes to make their connecting flight in Houston (not impossible but highly unlikely) since they have to go through immigration, reclaim bags (they only have 8 - they gave everything else away), go through customs, go through security, and then get to their gate. It is not impossible so we simply must wait until we know more. There is a late flight from Houston to Omaha. That might be what happens so just be patient and we shall see what happens. I will keep you informed.
We appreciate all that Frank, Carolyn & you are doing to get our team home safely. It is difficult when so many things are out of your control. It was great to hear your voices, Katelyn & Kyle :)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking to the Heelan students, and I'm sure the other students, they are a great group of kids and they will pull together to make this "hurdle" a part of their memorable mission in Honduras. Make the most of the situation and be ready to roll when it is time to return home. Lots of love, we look forward to your homecoming ! Love, Mom & Dad
