Tuesday
we were going to have breakfast at the India Grill
(The hotel restaurant) but Hrutuja was having a melt down so
we decided to just get room service. We just played with Hrutuja
most of the morning. McDonald's f.f. and veg burger (they are ok)
for lunch. Dave went Back to the Embassy to get her Visa/Passport.
I started packing (needed to see how much room I had in the suitcase)
After Dave got back we walked the mall again, It's raining and very
cold out. Tried finding outfits for our two Indian Princesses but they
did not have size 6 outfits (must be the popular size?) We can always
go to Boston and buy outfits there (it will cost more). oh, well.
I am starting to not feel well, I think I am just tired.
Wednesday
We got up @ 12:30 am to leave for the Airport. The New Delhi Police
dept. had a lot of road blocks up. Now starts a long security checks.
Our plane left late because they could not get clearance from London ??
All three of us dozed off and on for the first three to hours. Still a long
flight. When we finally landed in London we sat on the landing strip for
one hour.(our hop is two hours, so we have two hours to make it to our
next plane) The Captain said there was freezing fog/drizzle so we had no
place to park yet and that some flights were being cancelled like the one
to JFK, (OH, NO NOT THE US !!) we are flying into Boston.
If our flight gets cancelled we can not leave the airport because Hrutuja
has an Indian passport and she does not have our last name yet !!!
Once we were off the plane we found out our flight was still going to
happen we had 40 min to take the buss to the other part of the Airport.
When we got to the gate Dave had to go thru yet another extensive
pat down/security check. all the other passengers were already on the
plane before they let us board. This flight was really hard. Hrutuja was
board and very tired. She fell asleep about 3 hours before Boston and
woke up an hour later and started to cry soo loud so we had to give in
and give her the sleep aid the Doc said to give her so she can rest.
She has been soo good.
We landed in Boston around 1 o'clock and would hopefully catch the
the 2 O'clock bus to NH, then drive home.
Done with Immigration around 1:40 and went to get our luggage,(ha, ha)
guess what is still in LONDON ? So we had to fill out the form and run to
the bus stop we were there @ 1:53 but the bus did not show up til 2:30 and
there was only 3 seats and 6 people waiting, luckily they had a back up
bus waiting so we had to transfer at the next stop. Woo Hoo, HOME
Hrutuja was not afraid of anyone (just mooky) thanks to skpe and photo books.
We received a tracking number for our luggage and they said " It will be
delivered between 6 - 11 pm". We are soo tired I hope it is early. Dave stayed
up til 12:30 and fell asleep. The phone rang around 1:45 AM they forgot
to drop it off earlier.
This child is amazingly brave ! Truely a Blessing.
God is so amazing! When we started this adoption we still owed money for
our first adoption. Dave was wondering where the money would come from for
this one and I kept saying "FAITH, If God wants this to happen , he will provide.
And provide he did (grants and OT for Dave) Looking at our charges for our trip
it looks like we are FULLY FUNDED !! and the first adoption is also PAID IN FULL !!
ADOPTION ROCKS !!
