I am Sarah’s aunt and I wanted to let you know that I am following along on your website each day to see how you are doing. It sounds very adventuresome and you three are very brave to do this. Have fun and most of all stay safe. You will have made some lifelong friends along the way and this trip will be one you will never forget.
God bless you and keep you safe.

Hi You Girls,
Glad to know you made it to New Orleans safely. Sarah, your parents were so sweet. They sent us a nice card and a gift certificate to Walmart. We were not expecting anything like that. You guys have a great time in New Orleans and stop by anytime you would like. Love, Stephanie and David
