Flights and Delays...

My family and I arrived at the Kansas City airport an hour and a half early for my 6:50 am flight. Everything went quite smoothly, and we said our tearful goodbyes. When I boarded the plane, however, we had an hour weather delay before takeoff. This brought me into O'Hare too late to catch my 8:55 am flight to Heathrow. The next flight was not until 6:00 pm. I proceeded to find a secluded corner and see if I could get some rest. My mother and I had spent most of the previous night finishing up last-minute details, so I was slightly sleep deprived. I was able to get some sleep and spend time reading the Bible and journaling. I also walked back and forth a lot and now feel quite familiar with the K and L sections of O'Hare's terminal 4.

Here I am, feeling pretty good for having spent nine hours waiting in the airport.

Long story short, I arrived safely in London, I located my luggage and got through passport control without too much difficulty. My second-cousin and his wife "collected" me at the airport and brought me to their home. I will be with them for several days before I go to L'Abri. Stay tuned for many more updates to come...
