OUR FLIGHT


CHERRY CAPITOL AIRPORT


We flew out first thing in the morning on June 23rd. This picture shows the massive amount of luggage that we brought with us. It is no small task to pack up a fam
ily of 7 to move half way around the world. We were aloud (14) 50 pound bags at no extra charge. I was very happy with our ability to fit everything that we brought with us into 16 bags. That included bringing my pots and pans, towels and some dishes!!






Many special friends met us at the airport to see us off!! It brought forth a lot of tears but it meant a lot to us to have the support of our close friends there as we departed for this great adventure!!








This was our kids first time in an airplane. The flight from Cherry Capitol to Chicago was fun and exciting for them. They were all smiles. We hit some weather close to Chicago which made our flight about an hour longer than planned and made it a little bumpy. The kids didn't mind it but I was a little nautious and very happy when we landed in Chicago!


BREAKFAST AT CHICAGO AIRPORT: followed by a 5 hour lay over!!
BACK ON THE PLANE BUT THIS TIME A 16 HOUR FLIGHT!!

The flight went surprisingly well. This was my 3rd time making this trip and I would have to say this flight was the easiest. We played travel games until the kids ate a meal and then they pretty much slept (as you can see) the whole way and we just woke them up to eat!! God is good!!
