So, for those of you who want to meet us at the Boise airport, we are scheduled to arrive on 11/26/15 at 10:06 pm MST. We have heard there may be snow. We just ask you please BE SAFE.
For those who need the flight information or wish to follow along... We leave here, Hong Kong, at 6:45 pm. Which is roughly, 4 hours from now.
Our flights are:
-- CX 892 (Hong Kong to San Francisco, leaves 18:45 and arrives at 14:45)
-- AS 387 (San Francisco to Portland, OR, leaves 16:50 and arrives 18:30)
-- AS 3479 (Portland to Boise, leaves 20:00 and arrives 22:06 pm)
So to recap what happened since we last updated:
Kameron got his Visa on schedule! We said goodbye to our two guides, Aron and Miko, in Guangzhou.
We got to our gate early and everything seemed to be running on time. Until it wasn't. Not only did we board late, but for whatever reason, Hong Kong delayed our departure/entry even further. The entire 1 hr and 20 minutes we had to get to our connecting flight in Hong Kong.
When we landed, there was a very nice lady from Dragon Air awaiting us who explained we had missed our flight completely! Mom's biggest worry had come true, and pretty soon I was in massive tears. She explained we had been re-routed (good news!!), but mom was too distraught to hear her. Luckily, Jesse listened to her details and had us follow her to get our new tickets and some lunch vouchers. Kameron held my hand as we went to the transfer desk.
As we sat and waited for our new itinerary, Kameron and I spoke via Google Translate. I explained, "Mommy cried because we missed our flight. We are getting new flights. Mommy really misses brothers." He understood. He said, "Me too. I miss brothers too." And that warmed my heart. And, we got a brand new video from the boys at home just at that moment! That really seemed to ease our aching hearts.
After some lunch, we are all feeling better and are prepping for the next connection here in a few hours.
Please pray for safe travels and that we make our connecting flights! We miss our boys terribly!
We found out later that our original connection in Hong Kong.. NEVER took off and ultimately was cancelled due to "aircraft maintenance." Wow.
ReplyDeleteSo being in a known delayed flight, actually made us already re-routed to another flight.
The story of when Kameron came to America continues to have twists! It sounds like you made lemonade when faced with lemons and went on with the adventure! I'm hopeful that during the stress of the flights you are able to engage with good people and have some fun in the process. Love y'all, be safe.
