Day 20...Going home

It was an early morning. Our plane was due to take off at 8:30 a.m. I took a last look at Malta out the balcony of our hotel room.

We loaded up, went to the airport, and checked in. We didn't have a lot of time to spare...a few last postcards...another cappucino...not much else. We said our goodbyes to Karina and headed through check in. It would be a long day, but I think most everyone was ready to go home.

Our first flight was from Malta to London. Air Malta is the airline we flew on and it was VERY nice...leather seats with plenty of leg room and great coffee! In London, we had to go through customs, which took a LONG time. We had a 3 1/2 hour layover but after it was all said and done, we only had 35 minutes of free time before we boarded the next plane.

The next flight was close to 11 hours. This went from London to Dallas. Again we had to go through customs...again we had an hour and a half layover and there was absolutely NO time to spare.


From Dallas, it was 3 1/2 hours to SFO. What a greeting we had at the airport...lots of happy parents, friends...and delegates.

We were home, in our own beds, dreaming of a wonderful 3 weeks in Europe...at the end of Day 20!

Thank you, Linda :) Lindsey and I both have said how WONDERFUL the kids AND parents in the delegation are. That has made all the difference. Our parents have been involved...being at meetings...talking...getting to know each other - from the beginning. I love to look back at the blog to just reminisce...what an experience!
