Yesterday we missed our connecting flight to Manchester. We are at an airport hotel in Atlanta after a very long day of flying, waiting and rushing.
Yesterday morning we left the hotel in Guatemala City at 10:30am for a 1pm flight to Atlanta. The flight was fine and the baby did great. She slept most of the way and woke up right after we landed in Atlanta at around 6pm. Processing through immigration, however, took a long a time, almost two and a half hours. During this time, Eli made lots of new friends ... from Honduras, from Russia, from China, and Abbu Dabi. Our connecting flight was supposed to leave at 820pm and although it was delayed and left at 8:40 pm, we could not make it because only at that time we were seen by an immigration employee who did what he had to do for us in less than two minutes... Frustrating, very frustrating.
We changed our flight for this afternoon at 130pm and booked a hotel by the airport. We finally got to bed at midnight and are still at the hotel with no luggage. Fortunately for Elizabeth we have clean clothes, diapers and food.
Hopefully we can make it home today. The baby and I have been sneezing and coughing and I just want to get home!
Estamos en Atlanta luego de perder nuestro vuelo de coneccion hacia Manchester, NH. La bebe durmio la mayor parte del vuelo y a pesar de haber estado todo el resto del dia en el aeropuerto, no estuvo inquieta. Tuvimos que esperar a que immigracion en Atlanta mirara los documentos de Eli y para esto la espera fue de casi tres horas. Nuestro vuelo de coneccion salia a las 840pm y lo perdimos. Estamos en un hotel cerca al aeropuerto y pronto regresaremos al aeropuerto para un vuelo de la 130pm. No tenemos equipaje pero afortunadamente ropita , panales y comida para la bebe si tenemos. Elizabeth y yo hemos estado tosiendo y estornudando y los tres ya nos sentimos un poco cansados. Ojala que hoy si podamos llegar a la casa!

Congratulations on making back on U.S. soil. When we returned from Vietnam, our bags were delayed 2 hours and we weren't allowed to go through immigration until we had them. Poor Keenan had raging diarrhea and we couldn't change his diapers fast enough. When we finally got to go through immigration, they put us in the wrong line and there went another hour. By that time I was nearly in tears.
We all got terribly sick in Vietnam and landed in the hospital. When you (and your children) are not feeling well "there is no place like home" really takes on a whole new meaning.
Congratulations on almost being home and congratulations on the beautiful addition to your family.

Herzlich Willkommen!!!
Bienvenida a casa Eli!! que bueno que hayas cuidado a tus papas durante todo el trayecto... Yo imagino que los viejitos de tus papas Clarena y Greguito ya por la edad y la lentitud propia de la misma te hicieron perder el vuelo a Mán Chester (tu primo bruto nunca entenderá porque tu pueblo se pronuncia así) pero no los culpes, los años no pasan en vano (si no me crees mira el color del cabello de tu papa hace unos años y miralo ahora!).
Por otro lado da gracias a Dios porque a ninguno de Uds. le pasó lo que le paso a quienes escribieron la nota anterior (yo creo que se cagaron en los pantalones pero Shhh! no lo repitas porque no los conozco y que pena!!)
Eli apurate a llegar para que puedas jugar muy pronto con tu primita Isa que es otra bebe encantadora (además se gasta unos padrinos!!!!)
Chiquitica bienvenida a casa! todos nos morimos por conocerte (Isa y yo más que los demás) para consentirte y jugar contigo.
Mil besos y bendiciones
p.s. ah!!! saludos a los ancianos padres tuyos!!
Portate bien y si me quieres haz algo.... Cagate en la cama esta noche, jejejejeje para reirme desde aqui imaginando a tus padres limpiando todo!! jejeje

Clarena, Greg and Elizabeth,

Welcome home Elizabeth!
All my best,
Cecile
