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.
