Our trip was smooth and uneventful and seemed to go by so fast. Kenny did a wonderful job of driving all the way through (yes, I feel little guilty about letting him do all the driving but he's my hero!). Actually driving time was about 16 hrs as we stopped a few times for food and gas and also slept for 30 mins. We arrived at about 10am and checked into the Best Western Hotel. I was delighted to find that they have a Keurig coffee maker in the room. I have one at home but have never seen one in a hotel - quite a luxury!
We just woke up from a lovely 3 hours nap and now we're going to go out; Kenny needs to get his tuxedo jacket and check that it fits right. For the performance everyone is wearing white, following the example in 2 Chron 5:12. The men will have white tuxedo jackets, white ties and black pants. Ladies will be in white dresses. Choir practice is 8.30pm with the orchestra. That is going to be so exciting seeing all the choir together in the auditorium.
The feast atmosphere is already here, as when I checked into the hotel I saw Mr & Mrs Esparza, local elder from Mexico. We had met them at the Feast in Veracruz in 2007.
Look out for an update on events later tonight.
