Day 1- Almost made it to San Jose

Wow! What a start to our trip! As most of you know, our flight on Saturday was canceled and rescheduled for the next day (Sunday 4/14). We the (chaperones) were completely blown away with how flexible and understanding all the travelers were. Every experience so far continues to prove that we could not have dreamed up a better group of kids!! ACIS did an amazing job booking a hotel quickly and with a pool!! Although the day was pretty uneventful, we were able to swim two different times and "have a layover in Italy"! We went to an Italian restaurant named DiCinno's and ate delicious food and bonded with everyone! At the end of the night, we had an EPIC non-diving competition at the pool.





Hilarious Highlights:
*Our flight was canceled
*Cadan B learned how to eat pasta after some struggles

*TSA asked Erik the chaperone if he was the father of all the travelers
*Quinn won best "yoga pose" pool entry with child's pose
*Downtime was filled with some creative uses of makeup (HINT- clowns)

*Sarah, Miabella, Kaden, Haven, and Sean were compelled to help beautify the neighborhood
  

Overall, the day was not what we expected, but all the travelers made the best of the worst situation and we could not be more proud! We are so thankful to be surrounded by individuals whose positivity just rubs off on everyone! Not only are we better for it, but they have also recieved multiple complements from strangers on how amazing they are!
