Well we left and now we're back...

Oh it all started out soooo well. Flights were running on time. We board our plane, sitting anxiously waiting to take off. And we waited. And we waited. Two hours later after watching two thunderstorms pass, we take off only to have a bird sucked into our one of the engines while taking off. Sure enough that becomes a problem and we have to circle the skies for almost 2 hours dumping fuel (Yes, in the air) since we were filled up so much. Then we get back to the airport to be told the soonest they can do another flight is the next morning. :-( Thankfully they put us up in a hotel (which Anna Lin thinks is the greatest experience ever!) and gave us food vouchers. So at least we will get some sleep tonight. Yeah! And try again tomorrow.

Now I'm off to soak in a nice hot bath, then succumb to ZZZZZZZ's.
