Bonjour,

This morning, I left the house early to go run some final errands.  Margie kept all three kids at her house, and Nana and Laura worked on finishing up the final packing. 

We ate lunch at Lenell’s, and then we came home so that Nana and the kids could take a nap.   Laura and I worked on sorting out some final details in the house, and now we are just about all finished!

We are going to wake everyone up in a few minutes, take a shower, and head off to the airport.  We have to stop by the bank on the way , and then we are going to go check on my car one last time.  We plan on eating supper somewhere on the way to the airport.

Our flight leaves at 20:50.  We fly from here to Monrovia, Liberia, where we have to sit on the plane for about an hour and a half, then on to Brussels, Belgium.  We get to Brussels at 05:00 which is 04:00 our time; then we leave there at 10:10 for JFK in NYC.  We arrive in New York at 12:20.  Laura’s sister, Emily, is going to try to meet us in New York for lunch, and then we catch our flight to Dallas at 17:30.  We will arrive in Dallas at 20:50 CST. 

We have hotel reservations just outside of the airport.  Laura’s parents and my dad are going to meet us, and then we will head home to Center, TX on Wednesday morning.

Have a great day!

A bientot!
