Not Home Quite Yet

We are sitting in the Denver airport right now. Yes, Denver; yes, Thursday, the day after we planned to be home. The parts of the trip we were most nervous about (getting from Guangzhou to get to Hong Kong on time; going through Immigration, customs and security in San Francisco all within our narrow time frame) went smoothly. Before we left China, we said we'll be happy once we get to Denver so we'll know we're safely on our way home. Well, the folks at United decided that wasn't to be. The flight was late leaving San Francisco and we only had an hour connection in Denver. The flight had already left for Tampa by the time we arrived even though there were 11 families on our flight going to Tampa.

Part of the fun was dealing with United Customer Service (or lack there of). They didn't want to do anything for us at first, but after 2 hours of Allen and Dad dealing with customer service, we finally got booked on the flight we're waiting for right now. Flight 1472 at 10:51 should get us to Tampa at 4:09 pm - wish us luck!!

Amelie has been a trooper during this whole thing. It's just been us adults that have been difficult to deal with. We're having fun with her at the airport though. She is really practically walking (okay running) on her own. We still use our fingers, but she is barely using them.

Okay, so I'm going to try to sign off with some bonus pictures and hope to back in good ole F-

L-A today!!

Here are the pictures:
