So far, so God

We're in Douala, which is most of the way to our destination, Garoua.  The trip has gone well so far.  We arrived at DIA 2 hours early for the international flt.  Our flt was delayed for an hour, but we were assured there would be enough time to make the connection at ORD.  But this allowed for extra time to visit w/D,G&L, C&E, and K.  When they posted another delay I checked back w/AAL who now said we wouldn't make the ORD connection.  The agent spent a long time working the computer and was able to get us on the on time UAL flt to ORD.  It was the same flt Kailey was on, and we got seated together.  Thanks for the blessing of more time w/her.  Our flts here went well, w/boarding nearly complete at DEN and ORD, and the normal comfortable connection in Istanbul.  Two of our bags didn't make it, probably lost in the AAL-UAL exchange.  Now our flt to Garoua is delayed until the evening, but we're enjoying the sights and sounds where we're at, so it's okay.  In fact there's a wedding outside, so I'm going to wrap this up and go watch.  A big thanks to all who've made our departure special, and apologies that we weren't able to spend more time w/each of you.  More later...
