Airports, or On our Way, part 2

James, Holly and I met the VIS Spring Semester '09 students in the airport in Burlington yesterday. It was a good day for skiing but not for flying, it was just pouring snow. Our first flight was delayed to Newark because of the snow, and then we just barely missed our flight to Delhi by minutes. Luckily, the Continental customer service team was great and set up all 15 of us in a hotel for the night and found 15 seats on the next flight to Delhi. So after one more night of hot showers and all the comforts of home, we are on our way, waiting in the Newark airport for our flight to board. Here is a group photo that Matt's parents took, not sure if this will upload on the first try, but we'll see.
