NYC Bus Trip July 30	Last updated August 2, 2006 12:06 p.m.
Quote of the Day: "Let's get on the road!! Let's go!!" (most everyone's sentiment, because we were ready to be home) "Goodbye!" (this was our last day of travel and our final words to many new friends)	The TRUE kings of the bus - our drivers, Craig Bortner & Jeff Sunday!!! Random Pictures of People on the Bus                     Our final group picture at the Blue Mountain Interchange where we dropped off the folks from Ridge COB! We will never forget Sam's hugs! Unloading at York First!	Journal Entry: Our last day of the NYC Bus Trip!! Mostly, it was a travel day. Both bus drivers seemed anxious to get home to their significant others, so we started early at 7:00 a.m., stopping only for meals and rest stops when necessary.  We dropped the Ridge church group off at the Blue Mountain Interchange, said our tearful good-byes, and took the opportunity for one last group photo.  Then we motored onto York First, where we unloaded the bus and each departed our separate ways. It was a good trip. We learned many new things, saw many new sights around our country, and met many new people. We will never be able to re-create this NYC trip, but it will live on in our memories for years to come.   Thanks to all who have made this a memorable trip: to Jay Crist for organizing the trip, to Carolyn Moyer of Carlson Travel for booking all our sight-seeing, to Jeff Sunday and Craig Bortner for their excellent care in driving our group across country to all the youth advisors who helped this trip to be enjoyable to all the youth who opened themselves to being a part of this group, to all the planners of NYC for a great "mountain top experience" and to all the others who will never be forgotten. THANKS FOR A GREAT TRIP AND FOR GREAT MEMORIES!!!
