The Long Trip Home (and we're only Halfway!)

Hello,

I do have a few things to update about our last week in Brazil but thought I'd do a little entry about our trip, for those wondering where we are.

Yesterday we headed to the Recife airport at 8 and our flight was delayed due to technical difficulties, so we waited....and waited....and waited....until around 12 or 1 when they announced our flight was cancelled.  So we had to collect all our baggage and go wait in line to be re-routed.  We finally got out of the airport at 5ish and spent the night in a hotel in Recife, getting up this morning to try again, on the same flight.  This time there were no problems, and we arrived safely in Miami at 6 Miami time.  We were supposed to leave at 6:30 tomorrow morning, meaning we'd have to get up at 4.  Seeing as we finally got to our hotel and bathed and changed, etc, and the kids were in bed at almost 10, we phoned American Airlines and rebooked our tickets to leave at 3 in the afternoon.  That way we hope to "sleep in" and make it to the free breakfast which we wouldn't have made it to with our early tickets.  We are Dutch, after all...

So if everything goes as planned we will reach Seattle at 8:15 after flying through Dallas.  I am excited to "relax" a little in the morning.  The kids have been doing quite well on the plane, especially considering this will be our third day of "travelling," but by the end of the day everyone is a little bit grumpy.

Well off to bed...my eyes are shutting on me.
See you all soon!
Brenda
