Everything was going along just fine this morning--we were up early, Margaret's mom picked us up at 8:30 and took us to the airport but when the ticket agent looked at his computer screen and said "uh oh" we knew our day would be different than we had planned! We ended up leaving an hour and a half late, due to air traffic issues in San Francisco, and we arrived at SFO just in time to see the doors close for our connection flight. With no chance of getting on the flight to Tokyo!
At the ticket counter we were told the next available flight would be tomorrow a.m. and we would have to stay overnight in San Francisco. So, we were forced to spend our extra time riding the cable cars, exploring Fisherman's Wharf and enjoying chocolate milkshakes at Ghiradelli Square! Just trying to make the best of the situation, you know! Wink wink.
Anyway, despite the disappointment of the delay, we were reminded of the scripture "a man makes his plans, but the Lord directs his path." (Margaret's paraphrase). We are comforted to know that God knew all along that this would be our itinerary and He is still going before us!
So, we should be arriving in Bangkok Thursday 9/6 around 9:00 p.m. there (7:00 a.m. back home). Stay tuned for more details...

I'm glad the mandatory travel complications are out of the way. Now your trip home should be trouble free.
Thank you for taking time to blog during your trip. I really enjoy being able to know the details of your day.
I got choked up when I read the entry on your schedule about meeting the kids for the first time. I guess I better have tissue nearby before reading any posts about the actual meeting!
We're praying. :o)
