We're Baaaacccckkkk!

The powers of heaven were brought down by all your prayers, fasting, and faith and we had an amazingly smooth trip. THANK YOU! Generally we got the "oh crap, please don't be sitting near me" look as we boarded the plane. Then as we got off we were bombarded with compliments about how well everyone behaved.

I was questioning my sanity a few times along the way, such as when Ethan grabbed a liquor bottle off a shelf in Amsterdam and ran off. A struggle ensued in trying to get it back, but I did replace it and moved him away before he knock the entire contents of the lower shelf off. Then after coming through customs (the smoothest, easiest experience I've ever had with them) while looking at the monitors Ethan shows up with a huge bag of coffee. We quickly returned it to the nearby coffee shop and had a little chat about stealing.

Now we are here and both Zach and Ethan have quickly adjusted to the time change and are on a normal sleep pattern. Graham, however, is not. My happy-go-lucky guy and wonderful sleeper has not been either since arriving.

Despite the smooth experience overall and the tender mercies demonstrated it will still take me the full two months to recover enough to take the trip back.
