We are home safe and sound!

We left Antigua for the airport in Guatemala City on Saturday afternoon to be there in time for our 8:20 flight to Chicago OHare. there were six of us flying out that day, so we went through check in as a group. Our passports were checked, and the appropriate forms were filled out. Then we waited.....We got a bite to eat and played Phase 10. Later we made our way through security and waited at our gate. The plane started boarding at 8:00pm and took off 20 minutes later. We had a good flight, abit of turblence, but no big deal. The flight was full, but most of the people slept or watched 'Twillight". We arrived in Chicago at about 1:30. We had to go through customs and have our passports checked. Only one of the bags was searched, and that one had wet hacky sacks in it. After all the appropriate stamps and checks were done....we were free! Diane Dardon met us and we started making our way across Illinois to Iowa. We arrived in Iowa City at 7:30 Sunday morning where we met Andrea Schmitt, Gary's wife who drove us to Manchester, Iowa. That was where we left the big red truck that took us the rest of the way home. We stayed in Highlandville Sunday night. Kris, Becky, and the kids brought Mabes Pizza and we celebrated Father's Day and their 6th wedding anniversary.
We are happy to be home, and anxious to tell the stories of our adventures. Over the next few days we will be posting the rest of the days and some pictures.
