We flew out just after Callie's an my birthdays. So when a friend asked if she could do anything to help our move go any better, I said a cake would be amazing. She brought over this delicious masterpiece and I felt loved!
We were ready to go, all bright and early. We checked in at 6am and then waited and waited. It was fine. That's what most of traveling is, waiting.
We flew from Okinawa to Seattle and spent the night in Seattle. The next morning we saw that our next flight was delayed, which meant the hour connection we had would not be sufficient to make the next flight. We had a lovely long chat with the nice lady working the United counter and she hooked us up with food vouchers and a hotel in Dallas for that night. And we got on the delayed flight and went to Dallas.
Once at Dallas, we had to wait a bit for the shuttle. The kids were amazing for the whole flight.
Something amazing happened in Dallas. When I got to the hotel I explained that i had a voucher from the airline, but I was traveling with 4 minors and I would really love to have a room big enough to fit us all. The super nice man opened up a room for us that they had closed down (due to fewer numbers of travelers apparently they shut down a chunk of floors and didn't use the rooms). It was a super awesome double room suite!! It was AMAZING! This is the second room. The first room was a traditional room with two queen beds and this room had a pull out couch. They even brought a rollaway bed in so that the girls could sleep in their own beds. It was such a great blessing.
This is my happy face!
One of the really cool things about our room was that it was on the 12th floor and you could look out the window and see this!
Seriously! How fun is this?!
They did change our destination airport from Springfield to Fayetteville, but that was definitely not a problem for us!
We arrived safely and it was delightful to be greeted by family that was excited to see us. Hooray for getting safely to our destination!
