We've Made It To Manila!!!

Yes we have finally landed. Today's travels went very well. 20 minute delay leaving Minneapolis, 30 minute delay at Tokyo. But somehow we managed to make it into Manila 25 minutes early. Flights were pretty smooth for the most part. Looking down on Alaska and the Northern Territories of Canada was awsome. After we left the coast line we didn't see land til we hit the runway in Tokyo. Really tired so I'll have to tell you about the Tokyo airport in a later entry. Sydney has crashed into bed, I'm too wired and Mike looks like a freight train ran over him. (I probably do too but I refuse to look in the mirror). I'm going to put this little tidbit into the middle of this post as to not freak some people out. As we were a block from the hotel our van was stopped and checked by armed SWAT teams. As we cleared the check point our driver says "All ok, have bump here today" I'm like "Excuse me?" He repeated it and this time bump turned out to be bomb. I'm not even sure what that building is down the street. Sydney's eyes were like saucers and Mike who was in the back of the van didn't understand until we made it into the hotel lobby. Sometimes maybe it pays to be deaf.
It sounds like Holt and Chris were able to contact KBF and reschedule our appointment to meet the boys for mid afternoon Tuesday. We're so excited and now I need to go to bed. Yes we did actually take pictures but will have to figure out the posting tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's prayers they mean a lot.
