The Flight
Three weeks later most of the Lions journeyed from the corners of Indiana to Indianapolis for the long trip over. Each carried a large box of glasses as their second check-in bag. Autorefractors were also checked for the transatlantic flight.

In Fort Wayne the group of five volunteers gathered with additional supplies for the school and the community.

Our two wonderful doctors from Monterrey, Mexico, Carlos Gutierrez and Marco Barrera arrived at their airport to join in the effort. Our first major problem was about to occur.

It turned out that our travel agency did not listen carefully to the ticket requests of our Mexican doctors and issued tickets for flights originating in the California Monterey, not its Mexican namesake.

Nevertheless happily, later that day we all gathered together in Detroit, doctors included, and boarded a KLM flight for Amsterdam and Bucuresti.
