Day 10 - Home

Very short post to end this trip.  (hey team, feel free to add comments to the post!)

4am wake up call.  The guys all gather in the hotel lobby for 4:15am.  The girls are nowhere to be seen..  Emran goes to their room to see what's up... they're asleep.  They said no phone call was heard.  The hotel said they called and even sent someone.  Who knows... they were up. 

We left for the airport at about 5:15am.  Checked in and went through security.  MEMO TO SELF: When flying wear warmer than expected clothes.  I was freezing!  Being a bit sick and having air conditioning blasting while you are in weather made for 30 Celsius is NOT a good idea.  Flight was 7:45am.  There was more shopping and other happenings.  Kat and Izzy managed to bargain in the airport shops - buying some fantastic shot glasses for souvenirs.  On board an uneventful flight - just at the 2 hours mark - 20 minutes early.  I think we mostly slept (I did!).

4 hour layover in Miami.  The funny thing is that you must recheck baggage in Miami.  (Guess they don't trust the previous inspection).  So we collect our bags, and check them again.  (it's very confusing there... we almost got sent to the wrong location!)  we have to go through security again...

Then we wait... we get food, explore the terminal, wait... finally we get on the flight.  4:45pm.  2.5 hours to home.  I manage to sleep some more - still not feeling great.  Kat's still coughing... Emran is developing a fever (I found this out at the end of the flight).  Felt like a really long flight.  We're all tired and just ready to get home.  Arrive at about 7:30pm.  Clear customs and we're out.  Yay!  Izzy's mom meets her at the airport, and so does Emran's mother.  The rest of us - Kat and Vern and picked up by Vern's parents... Jeremy, Rebecca and I head to the airport parking lot to find my truck. 

Prayer items:
Kat still has her cough and an eye infection.
Emran has developed a fever - as of Monday, his mother took him to the hospital as it became worse
Rebecca - sore throat has returned
Vern - has some weird bite on his hand that may be infected (he got some cream.. wait and see...)
Kevin - was sick, but am feeling much better. Thanks for your prayers

And we're all tired I'm sure.  Continue in prayer for strength and for cultural reintegration for us all.

that's the trip!  Ask us for more details when you see us!
