Finally...we have plane tickets to go back to Haiti! It took me the entire day to purchase our tickets. Something weird was going on with flights changing right before my eyes! Because the flights were coming up different every time we did a search (and this was even happening for our travel agent) we started checking a later date which was going to require changing our Visa appointment. When I called our agency about changing the appointment I realized we may have to wait even longer if we didn't just try to work with our Sept. 6th appointment. SO.....I went back to looking for airfare on the 4th. At this point our travel agent had gone to lunch. So, I did a quick search on my own at Mobissimo.com and found GREAT tickets!!! Of course, I knew I needed to buy "K's" ticket to match ours on the return flight.....so I called and had Cheaptickets stay on the phone with me as I purchased our tickets....then the agent *planned* to assist me in purchasing "K's" ticket......well, she wasn't able to book the ticket and told me I would have to contact the airline directly. After going back and forth between American Airlines, Delta and Cheaptickets several times......they finally called American for me. Apparently, American Airlines didn't recognize the Delta portion of our tickets until Cheaptickets called both airlines (basically they repeated all my calls) to confirm they were REAL flights and could be booked! So.....lets just say, I will never be able to listen to the celebrated "Canon in D" by Pachelbel ever again without memories of 45 minutes of it playing over and over and over as I was sweating bullets about getting "K" on our flight!
THE GOOD NEWS....we are going to Haiti on Tuesday, September 4 and returning Friday, September 14 *WITH* Katian*a!!!
Please pray for us....the last wild card is the possibility of the U.S. wanting DNA testing. We don't think this will happen....but I'm nervous because so much HAS happened with our effort in bringing "K" home.
ONE MORE WEEK!!! I can't believe it!
