We're getting our first visitors from the US this week - Doug's parents. The last time they visited us which was while we were in Denver during Christmas 2006. After several days of cancelled flights, the result of a huge multi-day snow storm in Colorado, they finally decided to make the two day drive. All in all they were four days late, just barely beating Santa to our house.Well, wouldn't you know that they were going to have bad luck again. They were scheduled to fly from Austin to Los Angeles on Tuesday with American Airlines, before catching an Air New Zealand flight across the pond. Instead, American had to ground all of its MD-80s to re-inspect wheel well wiring. Of course my parents were booked on an MD-80. Two days later, they we're able to get out of Austin on a US Air flight to LA via Phoenix. If all goes right, they'll get here on Saturday morning.

Carolyn, your poor in-laws. Here's hoping the flight goes well all the way to NZ. I bet the boys are anxious to see them, family AND someone from "The States".
Don't worry, we will be over , too, eventually. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Love you,
Auntie Jean
