In MO
So I arrived on Friday into Branson MO. I must stay that the Airport was quite interesting. You exit the plane onto the runway and walk into the airport through a makeshift tunnel. Once inside it looks like the type of places you would see at the beach. A tavern and gift shop and fake hotel. There was nothing about the inside that said "airport". There was a couple who were from Branson who told me a little about the town. When we got inside, she realized that I was clueless as to where to go and pointed me in the direction of baggage claim. To get to the baggage claim you had to go to the hotel. That was the secured exit. The Smiths arrived while I was at baggage claim and the fun started. Doing anything with the Smith's is an adventure. We had lunch and drove into Springfield, and went to get our accounts set up. Then I got checked in to my hotel for the night. We took a trip a huge Bass Pro Shop. If that is your type of place, or even if it is not, I would suggest checking it out. There are plenty of fish and sea life to check out and even a couple ducks. Had dinner with a friend from Raleigh and her fiance. Then went back to the Hotel for the night. Our missionary friends to Ecuador showed up a little later. We haven't even started yet and it's already a blast!
