Detour to Merida

Well, a little blip in our plans. Here's the scoop. The weather in Houston required the plane to carry extra fuel which means added weight; with a full flight and a boat-load of luggage, the crew asked for volunteers to stay behind to lighten the load (24 bags were also taken out of the luggage compartment and sent to Merida on a separate plane). Vernon, Zane and Jordan volunteered to stay behind (don't worry parents, your students made it safe and sound to Houston, Tx and are in the air now heading to Merida; we have plenty of leaders to take up the slack). The three amigos who stayed behind will arrive in Merida Sunday evening. Below is a video commentary around their selfless act without which the plane would have never taken off; their commitment and sacrifice is undeniable (yes, I embellished a bit here).
