We've arrived!


We had a great send off from our family this morning. Through many happy tears we said goodbye. We still couldn't believe we were really going. Our time to travel was finally here. We made it to the airport (thanks al and kevin) and had a great flight. We were overjoyed to hear the flight crew say "welcome to Bogota". We're really here! For so long Luke has been thousands of miles away and now to know he is so close is a great feeling. We made it through immigration/customs without any touble, all our bags arrived safely with us, and Jorge (our driver) was waiting for us just as everyone explained he would be. (Amy and Phil you were right about the thousands of eyes peering through the window as you come through customs and look for Jorge). We had a short ride from the airport to our apartment and Jorge was very kind and pointed out restaurants, grocery stores, etc. He helped us check in and accompanied us right to our room. He was a huge help. So now we are going to try to get some sleep. Looking forward to getting settled in tomorrow and the big day Monday!! We feel so blessed to be here and are so excited for the journey ahead!

  1. Hi Jess and Ken,
    We hope you enjoyed your last day to sleep in, because tomorrow you're official duties as Mom and Dad begin. We're so happy that everything is finally happening and that you'll have Luke in your arms in less than 24 hours!! =)
