21 Hour Trip to PA

We left Guam early at 6:35 AM on Monday, June 18. In Guam Continental Airlines allows you to check your baggage in the night before for early morning flights, which is wonderful, because then you can arrive at the airport without your heavy luggage. That is a great start to a very difficult 21 hour trip from Guam to Pennsylvania. Joel and Amelia travel very well; at the same time, a trip of that length is taxing even on the most seasoned traveler.

My favorite part of the trip was having Father's Day twice: in Guam the day before we left and then again in Honolulu. The flight attendants told us, "Happy Father's Day. . .again!" That may not ever happen again during my lifetime. Marisol's favorite part of the trip was seeing my parents in Philadelphia, which meant that the trip was over. The only down side is that we have to do it again on the return on August 7. But Aunt M (Melissa Heck) will be joining us for that flight. I'm sure she'll be a BIG help.

Amelia's favorite part of the flight was not sitting still for almost a full day. We did walk around the cabin a few times, but it's not the same as running around all day. However, she did enjoy the Kit Kat Bar that came along with one of the meals.

Joel's favorite part of the trip was seeing the big planes and watching the clouds outside the window. He is our future aviator.

A double Father's Day ... what fun! We thought of you guys on Sunday. We diverted off the Turnpike at the exit where you used to live. Our previous visits helped me know there was a much-needed McDonalds available off the exit! Glad you made it safely to PA! Hello to all.
Thanks so much for your kind message. We are looking forward to seeing you and your family soon. Love to all.
