Hola from Bogota, Colombia

Good morning - we landed in Bogota at aroun 8:15 last night. Our bus trip to Ohare, and our flight from Ohare to Miami, were flawless. We boarded our plane in Miami as scheduled, but then due to air traffic, we sat on the tarmac for 1 1/2 hours before departing. So this delayed our arrival in Colombia. Once in Bogota, we did not have a ramp to deplane, but instead, had to use stairs from the plane, and then be shuttled over to the terminal. Once at the terminal, we waited in a very long line to go through immigration. We then retrieved our luggage, and went through customs. They allowed us in with no problems!

Our driver was waiting for us holding a sign " Familia Christy" among about 500 other people. If you have ever watched Good morning America, and you see all those people lined up outside the studio, that is what it looked like when we were trying to find our driver to take us to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel around 10 pm. Exhausted!

I am so glad that you arrived in Columbia safe and sound. Can't wait to hear about your first meeting with the boys! What a magical experience! Makes me remember our trips to Guatemala when our boys were very little. Take pictures!!
