We've arrived safely in Prague, reaching our hotel at about 8PM. We've just had a dinner in the hotel restaurant -- not bad, salad soup & ham with rice. And potatoes, good ones! Here's a sight I caught coming in on the bus from the airport, I
think it's the National Gallery, but I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong:

As I mentioned, our choir was split into two groups coming from the US; both groups met up in London at Heathrow Airport in Terminal 5 (the new terminal, below)

It's a nice airport with a Starbucks (naturally) and the first group had a few hours to explore. Our trip out from San Francisco was mostly uneventful, with some turbulence over the midwest -- I hear the second group reported the same thing. Below is the 747 that brought us here:

And here's my air chaperone group arriving: Matthew, Sam, Micah & Derek.

From London we flew together as a group to Prague, arriving about 6PM. It took a little more than an hour to clear customs, collect all our luggage, count all our heads and take off. We're in 3 coaches; my chaperone group is in coach 3 (below):

It will be our home away from home for our entire trip, so we're sure to get used to it quickly.
Right now dinner is winding up, and kids are socializing in the restaurant. Lights out at 11, tomorrow we have a walking tour of Prague to look forward to.
So, everybody's here and accounted for, safe & sound, ready to start enjoying the tour. So far so good!
