Last night, was the first time in a week, I was finally able to sleep through the night without waking up and worrying about whether we would be able to find somewhere to stay or not.
We have been able to get great prices for our plane and train tickets. Prices that have enabled us to remain within our budget. Total cost for our fares was around $145 each. I know it wouldn't cost that much to drive over but at least now we don't have to worry about traffic and we can sit back and relax. Although it will be first time Brodie has been on a plane.. I don't know how much relaxing he will do.
A friend of ours from Church will be taking us to the airport on Tuesday. My sister should be picking us up but I am not 100% sure yet although when I spoke with her she wasn't feeling very confident about collecting us. She doesn't even want to park the car because she hates the idea of paying any parking fees. She said that we would need to meet her outside so that she can just drive through the pick up area. In some ways I can understand that but WOW, we are family after all and it has been years since we have seen each other. If the shoe was on the other foot I wouldn't hesitate to do this for her. I am guessing our priorities are very different from one another.
The lovely young family we are going to stay with will be taking us to the train station early Friday morning so that we can catch the train back. I was also told by their Mum, the missionary sister, that the son in law can pick us up from the airport. It would probably be best of he did. Less stress all around is the best thing, right?
All we need to do is sort out our meds, clothes and whatever else we need to take over there. Keeping in mind that we should travel light.
The main hurdles have been sorted which is great. Now to just get there and celebrate Dads life.
