Day 6: The Return

Coordinating over six flights at two airports, the crew of j.Korps planned to leave at 8:30am to not miss Harinder “Last to Arrive, First to Leave” Kaur’s flight. Unfortunately mispacking and many pictures later, the time was closer to 9:15am, before the minivans would set out on the I-10 one last time.

The final van to leave – the grey van packed in the excess luggage and crammed in eight passengers en route to the Gulfport airport. Followed by the police for a number of miles, the crew worried that the po-po’s would write a different conclusion to their trip. While the grey van drove to drop-off Sukhjiven “The Patient” Kaur at the airport, the blue and red vans would run into troubles with traffic diversions. Frustrations and tensions ran high as departure times loomed. Drivers did their best to make sure that none would be late.

Finally, the I-10 finally opened up and all parties reached their flights on-time. The last batch, the Seven from San Ho, the Eastcoaster, and the Brother/Sister team ate a final lunch at the Golden Corral before being drenched by the rains and returning all rented vehicles. The last members of the j.Korps said their final goodbyes to Louisiana. Although each arrived as individuals, it is the hope that they left with memories as a team – J.Korps Mississippi.
