Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Wow, it's hard to believe today is the day we're finally on our way. Last night we drove up to NJ where we stayed with Auntie Robin, Uncle Erin, and cousin Delia. It was nice to spend some quality extended family time prior to our embarking on our long flight to Kazakhstan. Ian had a great time with his cousin Delia and Auntie Robin made him french toast, his favorite!!

We arrived at Newark Liberty Airport around 1330, the weather was wonderful and the line for Lufthansa was very, very long. We must bave looked clueless because after 3 minutes of waiting, a worker from Lufthansa came and told us to give him our passports and boarding passes. Within 10 minutes we by passed 200 people and at least an hour of standing in line. Customs was very swift and our flight to Frankfurt went really well. Ian did great and the staff at Lufthansa were great and so was our dinner and snacks. In our mind it's 0200 on Saturday morning, but we're all still going stromg at the USO in Frankfurt. Ian has met some fellow soldiers for whom he has made some crafts from his goodie box given to him by his teachers at The Little School. Sorry Ms. Pat, Ian could not wait til he got on the plane to use some of his crafts!! He loved them too much!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed the second leg of the journey goes well. I must say I'm so pleased I invested the whopping $10 rummage sale dual stroller it has been a blessing for Ian for us to take a break from carrying our carry-ons!!
