No matter how easy the itinerary looks, a day of travel is always more tiring than a regular day! But, when you add in an extra hour in a holding pattern over the Gulf of Mexico waiting for the weather to clear in Houston which results in losing the layover cushion you had to get through customs and eat dinner, rushing like crazy to get from the international terminal to the gate, finding out the connecting flight was delayed (small moment of thankfulness that we would have a few minutes to get something to eat), eating at McDonalds, gate checking your carryon bags because the plane from Houston to Kansas City is a mini, finally arriving an hour late in KC and discovering that one of your checked bags is still in Houston, making a stop at the grocery store at 11:30 pm to get contact solution, then you know your travel day is longer and more tiring than normal.
All of that to say, we are thankful and happy to be starting our 2 weeks here in Lee's Summit. We are reporting to our sending church, collecting baby items for a public children's hospital and orphanage in San Salvador and catching up with family and friends. If you live in the Kansas City area and would like to donate baby items (or money), message me at parrisinelsalvador@gmail.com and I will send you a list of the things we need.
