Thursday, Sept. 8
At this point it looks like we will arrive two days later than planned. Unfortunately the plane is full tomorrow except for one seat which Phil is taking. The Saturday flight has 4 empty seats so we will leave Sat with the twins. Phil will spend a night in D.C. and then we will arrive in Sacramento together. This was the first available D.C. to Sacramento flight for all of us.
When we left the US, I brought $1,000 extra cash, just in case. The flight change had a penalty of $200 per seat so multiply x5 and I am glad we had that. Now I’m out of cash and I hope we can make it home. Pray for us.
We’ll spend another 2 days hanging out at the orphanage. Should be a good time with everyone there.
I sure hope this is our last post...
Will be fervently praying that there will be no further hold ups when trying to board on Saturday and that a spirit of peace and well being will calm Kara so that she can leave without so much turmoil within her little soul. The poor baby! Safe travels and can't wait to hear when you have landed safely in the good ol' US of A!!!! Lots of love and wishes being sent your way! Caline and Family
