A Day Early

Well, are Christmas just got a lot better... we're going home a day early! Daniel called United Airlines to check on our flight information, and they told him our flight from Amsterdam to Chicago had been changed to a flight stopping first in Washington D.C., then in Chicago, and then finally arriving in Minneapolis on Monday evening at 10 pm... 

Needless to say, we were both pretty peeved, and more than dreading our travel back home. The nice woman on the other end of the phone must have heard our sighs because five minutes later she had us on a direct flight from Amsterdam to Chicago leaving on Sunday morning instead of Monday! 

This means in only three days, we'll be home, in our own house, with our dogs, in our own bed, speaking English, trudging through the snow, hanging out with family and friends before the New Year! I can smell Gussie's coat, I can taste the cold winter air, I can hear Charly barking at the snowplow outside in the alley. Home, we just can't wait to be home, though it will be hard to leave the friends we've made here, and the warm, quiet, and cozy town we've grown so fond of. 


See you soon!
