I have no idea how everyone managed to look so perky in this picture! A tired but happy and successful team! We were 45 hours in transit from the time we left our guest house in Zambia until we arrived home in KC. We flew from Ndola, Zambia to Johannesburg, South Africa (where Cherry left us to fly to Denver) to Frankfurt, Germany to Chicago. Everything went flawlessly until we reached the U.S. Chicago was ecstatic over their first inch of snow for the season so they had every snowplow in the city happily blowing and plowing snow at the airport. Quite a sight! The first indication something was amiss occurred when we got to baggage claim and found two suitcases missing which still haven't shown up. The second occurred when we got to the departure gate and were told the aircraft was being checked for mechanical issues. After innumerable updates announcing "about 10 minutes more" they finally brought in another aircraft and at last we were on our way to K.C. The home-base welcoming crowd was engulfed in hugs as soon as we could make our way out of the arrival lounge. Great ending to a great trip!
