It started off without a hitch...Jerry and Bev tag teamed to get us and our 10 suitcases to the airport. They were sooooo helpful, amazing!!!! Delivered and onto our flight to Chicago. We even happened to meet a woman and her daughter from St.Paul, who are also on their way to Qatar Academy in Doha. The little girl might even be in Adam's class :). Things were going GREAT and then our flight was late leaving MSP so we literally ran thru the terminal in O'Hare looking something like the family from "Home Alone"...I even sang. "Run run Rudolph" straight off the soundtrack and embarrassed the boys terribly. We made it to the plane in the nick of time, held the doors for us but as I walked thru the aisle with all of the carry on mumbo jumbo I was carrying I think I hit every passenger on my way back to my seat straight out of "AIRPLANE" like the flight attendant with the guitar :). The boys are in awe of the movies, video games, and touch screen computers on the back of the seats. Everyone's excited and hopefully our baggage will make the super tight connection, but we're being realistic...but still , here's hoping. ...Update!!! All bags arrived, which we find to be unreal considering our mad dash and urgency on the crew. Phew!!!
We met our colleagues and admin and were whisked away to our apartment. We are so happy with our accommodations as there are three bedrooms, three bathrooms. We actually think our place is about the same size as the first two floors of our house in the US. Staying up late as jet lag has us spunky but will be hitting the hay shortly.
