We are here

After a long day of traveling, we finally made it to our destination. Two nights before we left, we started to pack and weigh each and every suitcase. We shopped for items that we can't get here and we packed and repacked several times. The trip was relatively uneventful except for the last leg of it. The airline of our longest flight had decided that our part of the plane needed the heat on. All most the entire trip was in extreme heat. I was wearing jeans, support hose for my swelling legs, and had J laying across my lap sleeping which didn't help my situation. I begged the stewardess to do something about it which she did for a couple of minutes and then, the heat was turned back on. It was sweltering and it is still summer! I had hoped that the plane would have been freezing since this was my last hurrah in the air conditioning since we don't have air here. But, it was not meant to be. But overall, the trip went well and we made all of our connections and went through security with little problem. We even avoided traffic on the way back to our apartment during a peak traffic time! That was a blessing.

Now, we are unpacking and trying to get used to the time change. It was definitely different hearing the call to prayer out of our window especially since we haven't heard it in the last 6 weeks. Also, the feel of the apartment has been different as well, since we are missing a part of our family - DS- whom we left in the states to attend college. This will be a year of great change whether we like it (or are ready for it) or not.
