WE'RE STILL NOT THERE!!


Girls here are pics of our rooms.


Good morning to you, good night to us! With the exception of about 2 hours, we have now been awake over 24 hours. We are currently in Tokyo at a hotel for the night as our flight segment from Tokyo to GZ was cancelled d/t mechanical issues (enough said!) The Lord decided to remind me early on that He was guiding this trip. We got to Detroit right on time thanks to U. Scott, then the obstacles appeared. Obstacle #1: HUGE line for the ticket counter. Seems like Tokyo was the place to be going on Thursday p.m. We traversed it in about an hour just to reach obstacle #2: flight segment cancelled. Thirty minutes later they had us rebooked on an Air Japan flight, but not leaving until Sat. a.m. Onto security and obstacle #3: Doug is a security hazard d/t hardware in ankle requiring him to be "man checked" and my suitcase is tagged for unidentifiable objects (which turned out to be my stethescope and otoscope- "sorry maam, we just don't see those items very often"). Finally we reached our gate where general boarding was already occurring and you guessed it, obstacle #4 we are all three in three different rows of the aircraft. This was easily fixed as fortunatetly all the people sitting next to us were single travelers and willing to move so we could be together. From then on it was smooth sailing. Watched 2 movies, ate three meals and tried to sleep. Once in Tokyo, Northwest took very good care of us. We have been put up for free in a very nice hotel (all single rooms-really cute) and free dinner and breakfast. We now fly out at 9:50am and arrive GZ 1:50ish pm. So hopefully we will straighten out our sleep schedule tonight with a good nights sleep. Brynn and Brooke-so glad we could talk to you today. We love you and miss you more than words could say. Three more days until we get Bree!!
