Traveling 33 hours with 2 children who do not speak English.
We made it!! The kids did really well considering. We had someone tell them in Ahmaric before we left that we were going to America. All those planes, seatbelts (which were entirely new to them) layovers, security checkpoints, later they must have been thinking, "America = NO GOOD." Finally, when we arrived here they were incredibly happy. It looks just like the single possession they had to take with them from the orphanage, those picture books of our home and family we sent them that they covet and flip through all the time.
The plan was for JOTSC to stay with the grandparents one more day to give us time to rest. Although we feel foggy and fatigued, and I have a head/chest cold and a stomach problem that added much joy to my travel (bad water?), we can NOT wait to see them. So, they are on their way.
I will have to return phone calls later - I'm not feeling well and am quite groggy and in need of trauma counseling after the end of that trip ☺
Tamene just woke up.....and threw up.
JOTSC are here.
What an adventure this will be.
