Homeward Bound ...

Well... not yet...

Funny, isn't that how I started blogging this trip.

They are in the USA. The plane was unable to land into Chicago because of very bad weather, so they put wheels down in Greenbay, Wisconsin. However, you must clear customs in the first place you land, BUT Greenbay does not have a Customs Office!! They will have to sit on the airplane until they can be cleared to land in Chicago.

I just spoke to Nanny and Kasey (yeah!!) they are happily enjoying the scenic views of the airport from the plane window. No word right now as to when they can take off. And this also means that there is a chance that they will miss their connection. With Chicago all but shut down right now, there is a chance they can make the connection!!

Here is the zinger .... If you remember, they all were separated on the initial flight out of Tampa to Chicago due to Visa issues ... Remember ?? There were 4 flights?? Nanny made it on the 1st flight and Kasey on the last .... Well all the kids/adults on that last flight do not have tickets on the connecting flight to Tampa and are required to go Stand-by .... Yup, Kasey doesn't have a ticket. If they make the connection and Kasey can get on the flight then they will make it home sometime late tonight or very early in the morning. If Kasey cannot make the flight, than Nanny will give up her ticket and stay with Kasey in Chicago until they can get her on a flight...

Basically ... If the planets are all in alignment, than they will be home. UGH !!

We are home. Just in time for Trevors birthday party. I do mean just in time. Our luggage was still in the car.
The trip was great, the traveling was horrendous.
