I made it!

This message comes a little bit late but I arrived safely last night at 9:30 pm after 20 hours of travel! I almost didn't make it out of Seattle airport because I was competing against time and a hundred military personnel headed home from boot camp. My solution? The nice guy with the fro called my flight and I cut in line: ) But I made it to the back of the boarding line eventually and successfully boarded. When I arrived in Amsterdam I literally walked off one flight and right into another line to board my next flight. Not much time to think or open presents but it was okay. I sat next to a 10 year old boy from Zimbabwe who now lives in Ireland with his grandmother. They were flying to South Africa for a wedding. Could you imagine taking an almost 11 hour flight for a wedding!? That's dedication for sure. Now it's the morning of (well around noon) and I am waiting for a ride to go visit the Baby Haven. Unfortunately, I missed the warm water curfew by a couple of hours but I'm not complaining because at least it's a shower! That's all for now, but I will have more once I meet and greet the babies this afternoon.

  2. Thanks girl! That sounds delicious. You should go to the half-priced books sale too (although it might have already happened). But I hear its good. I found an awesome pizzeria that has half-priced pizzas on Mondays. Now I just have to figure out how to get there.
