There's No Place Like Home

First I would like to apologize for a lack of blog updates. We have been without wifi or any other way to post a blog. It's been a crazy 18 hours of travel. Our flight from Piura to Lima was delayed a couple hours. Then our flight from Lima to Houston was delayed an hour. We had a little extra time in the Lima airport to Purchase some Inca Kola shirts. At about 2 AM we got on the plane and headed back to America. We knew it would be a sprint once we got into Houston. The lady in Lima had already told us if we missed our 9am flight from Houston to KC the next available plane wouldn't leave until about 3:15pm. The lady put "priority" tags on our luggage to help us move quickly through Houston. Trent's bag somehow slipped through the system and didn't get a priority tag. As we approached Houston, we were forced to go around a big Gulf coast storm. This detour made all of us a little nervous. We got into Houston a little after 8am. We hustled to the baggage claim and our bags popped right out. All of our bags arrived except Trent's, the only bag without a priority tag. We made the decision to leave just three of us at the claim and the rest of us began going through customs, security and to the gate. By the time six of us got to the gate, the other three were just getting in the security line. We waited until they told us we had to get on the plane. My dad stayed behind and 5 of us got on the plane. We then waited on the plane for five minutes until the flight attendant informed us that because of a strong tail-wind we had time to wait for the rest of the group to get on the plane. Thank God for that tail-wind! We are all in our cars heading to our homes. For the next couple of days we will continue to post some pics and stories. Thanks for the prayers and for following our trip on this blog.
