Traveling to Copenhagen:
With an early start to the morning everyone was so excited to be finally boarding the plane.
Songbridge Village
A three and a half hour flight was spent sleeping (by a lot of us) until our arrival in Newark Airport. With feet finally on the ground we were taken through customs, and were met by very intimidating and blunt security guards. A new experience to say the least!
Our stopover consisted of lunch, exploring the airport, and for sure, shopping! We had 3 and 1/2 hours to shop and look around, and then we had what can only be called the highlight of the day... choir practice in the airport terminal, while traveling on-lookers passed by. Embarrassing? I think not?

So after consuming large amounts of Starbucks we boarded the plane for our 7 hour flight to Copenhagen. A bigger plane than the first supplied us with personal touch-screen televisions. With games, music and movies there were hours of amusement! (However, the majority of us opted for sleep instead.)
Arriving in Copenhagen was an exciting experience and we are all anxiously looking forward to the trip that lays ahead.
Bye for now!
(Note to parents from Chaperones: there is limited access to pay phones in the Songbridge village, and placing calls to home has proven to be difficult. Don't worry if you have not received a call yet. Everyone arrived healthy and happy in Holstebro.)
