We leave on Thursday. Please pray for the travel. This trip rocked the kids' world last go around. Aimee and I are dreading it a little bit but, at the same time, learned some lessons that we are applying this time.
We borrowed a portable DVD player. I've loaded DVDs on the iPOD. Batteries are fully charged. The laptop can play a couple DVDs before it's battery goes night night. Gameboy is ready. We got some new, small toys for the kids to crack open on the trip. We are flying coach this time and we lose the luxuries afforded in business class. Luxuries like room for my knees and power plugs.
The other challenge is that our seats are 2 behind the other. They could not get 4 seats together. Pray for the poor souls that gets stuck to each "pair" of our seats (There are 3 in a row within that section of the plane). Some unfortunate person is going to get the ride of their life. Hopefully, they've had kids. I plan to ask for help getting 4 seats together but believe that's a long shot. Pray for this specifically please.
Here's the schedule:
Depart Shanghai Thursday, 10:00am Northwest flight 026
Arrive Detroit Thursday, 1:40pm (I wish this was a 4 hour escapade)
Depart Detroit Thursday, 3:28pm NW1453
Arrive Grand Rapids Thursday, 4:18pm
Our home phone number is turned back on. It's the same number as before.
Couting the hours.....

I believe seating arrangments on the plane will turn out better than you can imagine--God always has His ways and His people. Will certainly be praying for you, though. I think your preparations and reservations are the better part of wisdom. Also prepare for reverse "culture shock." I think you'll be amazed at how the past several months have rocked your world view. Good things will come. love, Auntie TD PS. Everyone please check out my blog if you can pray: www.ferreehardy.blogspot.com
thanks!
