Day One

Well our adventure begins!!!!  We were delayed in Dallas for 2 hours due to the storms on Monday night and so when we arrived in London we missed our connecting flight.  When we landed we had about 45 minutes to connect but we were on the back of the plane so it took awhile to get off.  There was an attendant that met us and escorted us through to the next gate but security did not cooperate.  They detained Harrison for finding traces of explosives on his bag!!!!!?????  Come to find out his brother had made some bleach water bombs and had in the bag.  The bleach is a big TSA  no-no...who knew?  So when we managed to get through security the plane did not wait on 4 of us!!!!! To make it worse we stood in line to rebook our flight forever and then had to go through security AGAIN and this time Harrison got right through and Candee and I were detained and had everything searched.  It was wild!!!

With now having an 8 hour wait for the next flight to Nairobi we went to the Admiral's Club and found the "Quiet Area" and all 3 took a long nap in very comfortable reclining chairs. I even managed to get a shower.  It was heavenly!!!! 

So we are off on our 2nd leg of the trip which will be 9 hours to Nairobi and then straight to a full day at the Virginia Home.  I am so excited to get there and meet all the kids:)

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!!!!
