It's finally here....oh really? Not so fast.

The theme for today is hurry up and wait.

We all arrived with various family in tow prepared to say our goodbyes. Bad weather in Chicago put us on an earlier flight so we quickly hugged and kissed our loved ones and hurried through the gate. Alexis' daughter had a hard time saying goodbye to mommy. Once on the flight we suffered through the in flight instructions and Jo started deep breathing exercises to deal with first flight jitters.


Just as the plane was waiting for final clearance we received word from Chicago that all incoming flights were delayed; we disembarked and began the process of negotiating our way to Heathrow. Stay tuned for further details.

By the way, Paul is no longer the only male in the group, check out the red head on Christi Bailey's shoulder! Andy is already causing trouble.
