Time to go to the airport

It's early but we have a plane to catch. Flight is at 10:10 and connecting in Fort Lauderdale at 11:15. Three hour lay over in Lauderdale and we leave for Managua at 2:22. Arrival time in Managua will be 2:57 p.m. (Remember, Nicaragua is 2 hours behind us). From there we take a bus to Rivas (about a 2-3 hours trip from what I understand). From Rivas we take the Ferry to Ometepe. We will update you when we arrive. Talk to you from Ometepe!

1 day to ometepe island Nicaragua

We are all anxiously awaiting our departure for Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. We leave tomorrow (7/31) at 10:10 am and can't wait to meet the people there. We are looking forward to lending a hand to the school there and installing sinks in the bathrooms. The hiking, kayaking, volcanoes, waterfalls, and BBQ on the beach all sound like a lot fun. Check back and we will keep you up to date on what we are doing.
