San Francisco,
Here we are, our last day before we embark on our adventure to Nicaragua. Wow – what a whirlwind it has been to get to this point!
We’re headed to the airport tonight for our early morning departure to Jinotega, Nicaragua. Have any of you ever been to Nicaragua before? I haven’t and I’m very excited to be sharing this adventure with you all!
The “city” of Jinotega is going to be very different from the cities we live in – much more rural with far fewer amenities – think basic!
We’ll be on a road less traveled as we learn about the Nicaraguan culture and history…
and we’re likely to meet new people who are just as interested in us as we are in them!
We’ll be eating delicious new foods…
and whether it is unfamiliar and scary…
or beautiful and weird…
either way we’ll have a memory of a journey to last us a lifetime! We’ll keep in touch with our loved ones back home and may even make fresh connections.
We’ll never be the same after this trip.
We will be forever touched in ways we can’t even yet predict.
So take a deep breath, relax, and let go- embrace the mystery and adventure of our travel!
Hello I am the mother of Angelina Rivera , I was wondering if she and the rest of you had made it safely to Jinotega, Nicaragua. Not sure if I’m even emailing or sending to right blog. Hope so! Please tell Angelina I love her with all my heart and to enjoy every moment there! ❤️
Hi. I’m Olivia Bailey’s mom and I too was wondering if the group made it to Jinotega yet. I hope someone posts something today (June 10)!
Ok it’s Adriann, Angelina’s mom, and my nerves are on edge at this point. I checked flights and I know you all made it and then had to drive a 2gr 15min drive to Jinotega but unless the road conditions were horrible should have made it by 1230ish. It’s now 1640 in Bay Area and still no blog or 1 min call home. Just a concerned mom!
Hi Adriann,
I’m Director of Operations at Global Glimpse. I checked with our staff and they told me the Jinotega group arrived safely in Jinotega and called home. Did you get to talk to Angelina? They said a few parent didn’t answer. Hope you were able to speak with her.
Yes Ben!❤️ my baby called me‼️ Thank you so much! Really appreciate the info and return blog back. Angelina called about 1700, not to long after. I appreciate everyone of you and the opportunity you have given my daughter. Once again thank you for calming my nerves. I feel a lot better now that I know you are very attentive to parents as well as our children. Thank you!
