LCMS NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING
NEW ORLEANS, LA.


Day 1 (July 28) Gillette - Denver - New Orleans

"O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever."  

After a 2 hour delay at the Denver Airport waiting for a plane from Kansas City, the 29 youth and adults of Trinity Lutheran Church boarded a plane and arrived in New Orleans at 11:15 pm New Orleans time.  The trip from Gillette to Denver by church van, trailer and two Suburbans went smoothly.  Lunch and some cheaper gasoline was found in Cheyenne.

Check in at the Hyatt Regency went smoothly once we arrived.  About two thirds of the group had to wait a long time at the airport for a shuttle (eventually a bus) that would take them to the hotel.  We got up to the rooms about 1:00 a.m.  Do the words tired and hungry ring a bell? 

We slept good.  The sun is shining here this morning.  Breakfast is waiting - somewhere.

Daily updates and pictures will be posted here - usually in the morning.
