Thanks Cassie, for getting this great news out yesterday!
We did not have internet again yesterday, in Accra, so I made a quick phone call to my dear husband (the first time I'd spoken to him in 16 days) to tell him we were on our way. Then I asked him to phone Cassie to write a quick blog post.
Yes, we are really on our way ... TO AMERICA. You can't imagine how excited the children are. Okay, Lanae and I are pretty excited, too.
We are currently in Frankfurt, Germany. While I enjoy the amenities of Luftansa Air ... I really like the direct flight on Delta from Accra to New York. It just doesn't seem like the most direct route to come to Europe first.
We just had breakfast at McDonalds, and are now trying to figure out how to spend the next 3 1/2 hours until flight time.
The kids did great on the first flight, so we are not expecting any problems for the rest of the trip.
The children went on their first elevator ride (and they like the escalators, too). It's so fun to see their wide-eyed wonder at all of their "firsts".
I can picture the elevator right off the airplane and the escalator too! We too hopped over to Mickey D's for breakfast??? while we had to wait the four plus hours for our flight. I would recommend a cappucino from Illy's right near the terminal-yummy!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe rest of your trip home AND a WONDERFUL time with your hubby! What hotel are you going to? Just kidding! ;)
Let Lanae know I will be at Childrens on Tues. if she happens to be going there; give me a call...
Wilkommen aus Deutschland :)
ReplyDeleteOf course, you posted this last night, so by this point you are already in route to America.
