We managed to book a flight to DFW with a departure today at 5:00 pm. Judy finished up her school planning for a sub late last night. She\u2019s packing today, and planning for her classes when she returns. I chased errands today, getting ready for our absence. I needed to adjust the schedule for our Ayi while we\u2019re gone. I also needed to make sure we had supplies in the apartment for Judy\u2019s return to Beijing. She\u2019s coming back on Tuesday. I won\u2019t be back until Friday.<\/p>\n
We make it out to the airport easily. After checking in we eat dinner and work our way through security and immigration. The flight boards and departs late, but we arrive in Chicago close to our scheduled time after a 12hr. flight. They\u2019ve improved the immigration arrival area at O\u2019Hare and with our Global Entry clearance, it\u2019s really quick to get through. Then we drop off our luggage at the transfer drop area, and begin the journey to the new terminal and our gate. There is lots of snow and it\u2019s cold while we move in and out of terminals and trams. We arrive with an hour to kill before our flight.<\/p>\n
We arrive at DFW right on time at 9:50. Our trip has been smooth, but our luggage didn\u2019t arrive? Something funky was going in Chicago. Most of the people on our flight with checked luggage didn\u2019t receive it. We\u2019re told it will be delivered tomorrow morning to our home in Ft. Worth.<\/p>\n
Courtney meets us at the airport. We meet Brad and Glenda at a Rosa\u2019s Caf\u00e9, swap cars, and then head home. It\u2019s nice to have a place that feels like home when we arrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
