Flying and Running.

April 5, 2009. Managua to Springfield.

What to say about a day spent at in airports? We left Managua at 8am (9am CST), and arrived in Atlanta at 1:30ish EST. We thought we had time, but we were wrong. Customs was ridiculous! We waited forever for our luggage and by the time we went through the line and got to our terminal, it was almost 3. Our flight was supposed to leave at 3:02. Needless to say we were running.

Well, as usual when you are running late to these things…once you get to the gate, they announce that their will be a slight delay due to overbooking. Well, we left about 15 min late and arrived in Springfield at 4:20. I said goodbye to Ryan and headed out into the cold without a coat mind you.

Tif picked me up and we headed home. It was nice to be home. She did very well with the clean house and the shampooed carpets and washed dogs. She made it very welcoming to be home.

We sat on the couch, looked at pictures, I told some stories. Then it was off to financial peace university with Dave Ramsey. It struck me then that I was on a very whirlwind day; I woke up in Nicaragua, took a shower, admired the lizards that were on the outside of the glass as they were every morning, walked to breakfast, had some fruit and coco puffs (naturally) and then I was ready to go. Eight hours later I was sitting 2,000 miles away in my church, watching a video about how to achieve financial peace. What a weird day. Now I’m sitting on my couch, wifi going strong and I’m writing this here blog. How small the world seems sometimes.

Like I said…not much to say about a day spent in airports. You fly. You run. You fly some more.
