The kids made it to ......


















Yongsan, Korea. 17 hours in the plane, lost some luggage, but it was found and was being brought to them, thank goodness. I love the fact that they could follow the path that the plane was taking and had no idea that they would be leaving Atlanta and heading out over Canada and over the top of Alaska. Darn, no wonder it costs so much to fly these days -- they go by way of their elbows to get to their butts! LOL Anyway, they finally got to their room last night around 10:30 and Darrell had to check in this morning at 7:00. From what I understand, Denise and the kids will be at Yongsan temporary housing for a while until they get their permanent housing. Darrell will be leaving within a few days for Camp Casey -- about 40 miles away. Supposedly, he will be able to come down to Yongsan a couple of times a month. Bless Denise's heart -- is she a good wife, or what? It will be several weeks before their housing goods or their car will make it to Korea, but she says that she and the boys will take taxis or ride bikes around post. I can just see her now -- off to the commissary on a bike with a little red wagon behind it and the boys trailing along. Here are a few pictures of their trip. (Isn't the limo cool?) They said that they boys were pretty good on the long trip, but that they sure were excited to finally get somewhere on land where they could run around. I can't wait to hear from them again.

Oh, Betty! I'm almost crying with excitement for you! I'm so glad they arrived safely and that they are figuring things out. Thank you so much for keeping me updated! :0)

Betty,

I know you will miss them, and I hope you get to go visit them soon. Those little boys are adorable, and yes she is a great wife, it has to be hard to be in a strange country alone, even though he is only 40 miles away.
