Norfolk Here we Come!!
We are in Atlanta!! Our flight went well and Maiah did well. The flight back is nearly three hours shorter so that is a God sent. Maiah however, the girl who does not use public restrooms, held it for 10 hours. The only way we could get her to pee was to bribe her with gum. We have started our 3 hour lay over and are ready to come home. Our customs experience was a blessing. We waited around 20 minutes and watched them looking over every item in every bag. We were the only Americans waiting, but we are trying to sneak the Mongol into the country, so we had to wait in the immigration area. God is always good and flashing some Military ID never hurt anyone. So they sent us right through! Well we are looking forward to coming home. For those who are coming to the airport, WE STINK, so hugs are at your own risk. We love all of you and appreciate all the support. For those Petrin Blog junkies we will update on a regular basis from this point on, including pictures.(If any of this makes no sense I have been up for 21 hours) Derek
