The Long Way Home: Part 3


Manila to New York City: July 19

Home, Sweet Home.  We are finally back in the US, currently at my parents' house in Allentown, PA.  We woke up at 3AM this Thursday, headed to the airport and later that morning boarded a plane bound for NYC via Tokyo, Japan.  After four hours to Japan, two hours in the airport there and twelve and a half hours to JFK, we were checking through immigration and putting our passport away (for at least a little while anyway).  Once again, Soleil did great on the plane and enjoyed having Lola and Grandpa to keep her company part of the way.  Now she has met all four grandparents, having met Bestefar (Norwegian for grandfather) for the first time and "re-meeting" Koko (Lingala for any grandparent but in this case referring to my Mom) at the airport yesterday.  We're still trying to shake the travel fatigue so I'm calling it a night and going to bed; just wanted to let you know that we've made it safely back and are once again stateside.  Thanks to all who prayed for our travels!
