Travel Home-Bienvenidos a America

Well,
We finally made it to Atlanta, and I must say, as a spoiled "gringo,"American, I am loving the hotel restroom with a toilet that actually flushes and a nice clean shower.
The flight was uneventful, and quite pleasant.
We got back to Atlanta at around 6, but it took almost two hours to go through security and get our bags, mostly because they sent our bags to the wrong conveyor.
When we left Guatemala City, Jamie's temperature had dropped to 101, and by the time we got to Atlanta, she felt a lot better. Thank you all for your prayers.
We will be headed back to Knoxville tomorrow, and are planning on speaking about our trip tomorrow night. We are looking for more people to join in for next year. We would love to get enough people together to charter a flight and avoid commercial air altogether. A big thank you to all that followed us. It was a wonderful trip. Mike Parker is putting together a group of kids needing sponsorship. He said the info will be online sometime in August and you can sponsor a child for $30 a month.
I almost forgot to mention our live entertainment on the flight. The video system on the plane was broken so we got serenaded by a steward with a harmonica. He played Guatemalan music for us until we took off, and then played God bless America when we landed. He was quite entertaining.
Goodnight and I will be signing off until next year. God bless you all !
