Our Summer Vacation

Travel Log: Getting there
(Sat. June 14, 2008)

It was such a blessing that we enjoyed a good flight schedule. We flew out at "oh dark early" and the kids were so excited! Seriously, the boys acted like we were heading out on some kind of covert mission. They got themselves up and dressed with their gear on (travel backpacks) without turning on any lights!! We flew from TUS to IAH to PTY. Our layover at IAH was just perfect, long enough to grab a bite to eat but with plenty of time to go exploring and wear the kids out!! We arrived in Panama just a few hours before Grandma & Grandpa Flores. We had plenty of time to pick up our rental car and grab a midnight snack for our starving kiddos. Once my folks arrived we all drove out together to Grandma Kemp's apartment. (Grandma Kemp arrived a few days before us and Grandpa Kemp would arrive a couple days after us. For those of you familiar with the area, the Kemp's apartment is in Clayton.) Friendly reminder, for anyone flying abroad and planning on using their credit card, don't forget to call the cc company and let them know!! If you forget to call, it can make for a very long wait at a car rental counter.

Our cute little guys! Yes, I'm one of those mothers who dress her children in identical outfits for traveling. It's easier to keep track of them that way. At least this time around they didn't have to wear their crazy lime green shirts!!

Sara's not in any of the shots because she was totally fascinated with the moving walkways.

*Thanks Trevor for sacrificing your sleep to take us to the airport! We appreciate you!!
