Delayed

This is the sign we got to look at for an extra eight hours while we waited in Osaka's airport. I have no idea still what it was that we were waiting for, but it took a long time to get it done. I had to change our connecting flight in Detroit twice while we waited in Japan, but by the time we got out of customs in Detroit we had already missed all the flights out that night.

I got over it, :) but I was pretty irritated about the whole thing. We were dreading the flight already, but the wait just made it worse. Add our continuing recovery from third world cuisine and you have a literal soup of disaster. Haha!

We can't complain about the whole trip though. We were able to get a few hours of sleep in a Best Western in Detroit before flying into Pittsburgh. Because of the flight change, I had to change our car reservation as well. I was able to upgrade from a Pontiac G6 to a 2007 Jeep Liberty for an extra fifty bucks total for the ten days we have it. The Jeep is awesome!! Cruise Control, power everything, no wobble at 80 miles an hour! It's even got Sirius Sattelite Radio with a Christian station, #66!! What a steal of a deal. We'll drop it off this Sunday on our way to the West.

Thanks to all of you for praying for us to get in okay. Even though we were delayed in every airport we stopped at (8 hours in Osaka and 45 minutes in Detroit), we still had a good trip. I'm glad we purchased a portable DVD player, and now we have a long life external battery so we can watch movies for 14 hours straight (one flight from Detroit to Osaka)! It'll come in handy on the way back and forth from Korea if we ever decide to come back to the States after we get there.

We're excited about Saturday, and we're finishing up the last few details before the show starts. We look forward to seeing those of you who are coming. If you're not coming, you can see all the highlights here in a couple weeks.
