After a fitful couple hours of sleep...we rousted the crew, downed a pot of coffee and loaded the car. Said a tearful goodbye to my parents and at Steve's request, my dad blessed us with prayer. We drove off with six sniffling quiet people.
Then a few miles down the road, they all got silly and started quoting random movies. And Sam said,"Ok, I'm done crying...lets get to flying!" My feelings exactly!
Our first flight couldn't have gone smoother. Lizzy was beyond excited and soaked up everything. At the end of the trip, she said she wanted to see the pilots and tell them "I'm so glad you didn't crash into anything! Because I am just all about the safety stuff." She was mostly thrilled to add Texas to her list of states she's visited...though technically she is only in the airport.
We have seen a glimpse of the return of Disney World Paul...the Paul who speaks to strangers and dances randomly. He headbanged to his favorite music nearly the whole trip and smiled and waved to the elderly couple across the aisle when they looked at him oddly.
Because FedEx is flying us business class, we are hanging out in the American Airlines club room. Actually inside the family room inside the club, so fancy!! Lizzy is bouncing on the seats now, but was playing a kids game on the computer. Paul reconfigured the other two family room computers, so he and Sam could play an Internet game, which I'm totally sure is not allowed...
John is pretending he doesn't know us mostly...
All in all, a good start to the morning. In a couple hours, we board the flight for Hong Kong!!
