Travel & Arrival

May 31

 After months of planning and pre-departure, our SCWN departure day for the group finally arrived on Friday – what a hectic two days for everyone! Students, faculty and administrators from the U.S. traveled to Mendoza, Argentina to begin the Sustainable Wellness & Nutrition in the Americas program on Friday and arrived early in the morning the next day. Travelers met in Panama City from Boston, Washington D.C., and Miami to begin the final leg of the flight to Mendoza. The group was tired but excited and it was so great to finally meet everyone in person!

Landing was pretty smooth into Mendoza International Airport – at just around one in the morning and all of us a little weary from travel.  Everyone’s luggage arrived and the group went through customs in good time. One of our hosts, Betiana from the Universidad de Congreso, was waiting there to greet us and pick us up in a bus to bring us to a local youth hostel. Here’s a photo she snapped of the first one through the doors, David, Regis College administrator!
