Our trip: December 2007 Archives

The Weils are safely back in the U.S. Their plane arrived an hour early. Lorraine said the wheelchair wasn't at plane side, so they had to wait a while, but we weren't there to pick them up yet so they had time.

Lorraine found a way to change Shawna's diaper in the women's bathroom, but then they missed the shuttle across the airport and had to call a private one. Gary and Gary II were waiting on the curb when we pulled up and Marci jumped out to hug them.

Lorraine and Shawna were coming out of the building. The luggage was quickly loaded and we're on the way the back Pennsylvania. The Weils, still being on China time, are awake and ready to roll.

Well, we're finally on the road. Marci's boyfriend Chris is driving the truck and his parents are driving the van to pick up the Weils. We called the airport and the flight which was supposed to arrive at 7:21 p.m. is actually early despite the snow and traffic. They are to arrive from Bejiing at 6:09 p.m. We're taking it easy and driving slow down Route 83 to make sure we get there safely.

Marci said she cleaned the house and baked a cake to welcome her family. They're braving the snow because Marci said it's like Christmas day, she can't wait to see her family.
