Hey- buttons on the plane home weren't our problem- medals were.
Apparently the medallions and trophy created lots of interest in the x-ray security crew at Orlando and, as a result, all of our adults and Mr. Volcano were thoroughly scanned and had our carry ons searched twice. It was truly memorable.
The security woman doing the search asked what the medals were for so I told her in my usual lengthy, excited fashion (see my other posts). I think that's the reason she finally shooed us away!!!
The day was topped off by not having a bus at our home airport when we arrived at 11:30 PM. Apparently the bus company never booked one despite being confirmed. So team 25 played hacky sack in the luggage terminal at Newark airport until 3:30 AM waiting for a bus to show up. Some of us even reported to class at 7:30. If it is any consequence, the homeless guys sleeping on the benches there want to form a FIRST team now.......
FIRST- always an adventure!!!!!
