Today was a full day of traveling home. We arrived at Punta Gorda airport around 8am to catch our flight there. I was able to sit by the window on that flight and get some pictures of Belize as we flew over the country.
This flight was followed by a layover in Belize City before we flew on to Houston. I had intended to read and study on the plane but couldn't keep my eyes open. I ended up sleeping for most of the flights home.
Our flight out of Houston was delayed due to what appeared to be short staffing of the fueling crews there. It was about 30 minutes of sitting on the plane waiting before the fueling crew was able to put fuel in the plane so that we could leave.
Typically I don't like flying and have trouble sleeping or relaxing on the airplane, so the fact that I slept either means that I was extremely tired or that I'm getting used to flying. For now I'm going with both.
We arrived at DIA around 9pm. It was bittersweet to be saying goodbye to the rest of the team, knowing that we wouldn't be waking up to do devotions together the next morning. We had all become good friends during our short time together and parting was not easy.
My parents and kids picked us up at the airport and the car ride home was filled with exchanging stories from our time apart. The kids had lots to tell of their time with their Grandparents and we had lots to share from our time in Belize.
Jeff was driving us all home and managed to miss our exit. We ended up driving clear around the city to get home. We arrived at our apartment a little after 10pm and all went straight to sleep.
