We flew from Thessalonica to Munich to Chicago to Sioux Falls. The flights went very well and we had no problems going through customs or making each connecting flight. We were happy to be arriving in Sioux Fall a few minutes early. However, just as we had problems getting out of Sioux Falls on May 12, we also had problems getting back into the Sioux Falls airport. A thunderstorm hit minutes after we landed and before we could get into the gate. What was supposed to be a short 10 minute wait sitting in the plane on the tarmac, turned into a 1 hour and 40 minute wait as the thunderstorm became more intense with winds of up to 50 miles per hour. We were happy to finally get off the plane, and were welcomed home by Paul, Joni, Emily, Matthew, Sarah, Rosa and Gary. We were ready for a good night of sleep in our own bed after being up for 26 hours, gone for 46 days, sleeping in 20 different beds, traveling through 8 countries (Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey) and 3 continents (Africa, Asia, Europe) via 10 planes, 17 trains, 10 buses,1 taxi, 1 tradesman’s van and 1 lumberjack’s truck!
