Thursday, March 10-- Home again!

Managua airport--

After checking our suitcases through to Houston , we filled out a customs form to be left here, not for the US—seemed strange, but it was easier now than later.    We were there early enough to have some “look around” time.  I found a “Nicaragua shirt” for me, and a cap for Nick at rather good prices.  I looked through the “duty-free” shops, but didn’t find anything I couldn’t live without.  No breakfast this morning, but in light of yesterday afternoon, I was okay with that.  

We loaded the plane,  and with no incident (except some dry cookies) arrived in Houston.  We showed passports, retrieved checked baggage, went through customs, rechecked baggage for DFW and found a food court.  I had a warm ham and cheese sandwich with chips for $12.  Went across the  hall to a candy store and got a small dark chocolate bar.   We waited a bit longer, while I called/ and texted Nick and Nikki to let them know our plane was expected to be on time into DFW. 

Another uneventful flight and before we knew it we were home.

Nick picked me and Kate up and we delivered her to her parents house and headed home.  Lilly’s school open house is tonight, so we chilled for just a little while and then headed toward Bryant Elementary.   Lil showed us her desk, her locker, her work and her stuff posted on the wall in the hall by her room.   We then went to the cafeteria, where Lil’s Panda project was displayed. 


A long day, but glad to be home and glad I was a part of this amazing adventure.
