Well this may not be the longest journey, but I have a feeling I will be very tired by Friday, and this morning I take the first step (or flight at least).  Below you see the airplane that will take me from Ottawa to Washington in a few moments where Chris and I will meet up with the other teams. Airport security is crazy today in Ottawa since the Israeli prime minister is in Ottawa, he was actually supposed to fly to Washington today but the attack on the convoy in Turkey has resulted in a change of plans, and he will be returning to Israel. It puts things into perspective a bit when you hear about tragedies like that. But that's why we all have to do what we can to make a difference where we can. So Chris & I will do our best to help out International Development Enterprises by winning the ground challenges!

Don't forget YOU CAN PARTICIPATE..join the GOLD team...enter a contest win a prize by guessing our challenges...tell us if we can call on you for help during a challenge...or just wish us luck!

See you in Washington!!!!
