I received a text--they are in their rooms for the night and are happy and tired. They saw some amazing sites today and are headed back out for more first thing in the morning. Happy sigh. :-D

I'm not giving out specifics due to their safety--overly cautious mother. :wink: I can share more later.

They sent a photo?
Where is it?
You aren't going to share with us??????

Karla....they will be fine.
A 6 hour flight is nothing....Takes me 8 hours to get to Hawaii.
My flight to get here was....7.5 hours from Guam to Hawaii. 4 hour layover. 7 hours from Hawaii to Houston. 1 hour layover. 3 hour flight from Houston to Jacksonville, FL.
I'll trade JUST a 6 hour flight anyday! lol

THEY WILL BE FINE!! They have a phone, they have internet, they have all the modern conveniences there is. I know, you are still going to worry, that is our job as moms.........

They will be fine. REALLY! I go through the worries every time I fly to see my family and those 13 hours travel time are NOT fun. Particularly now, the restrictions will be much more stringent.

They called! They were on a bus from the fireworks back to the hotel. 2 AM They're happy, but tired and looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. My daughter said the food there is delicious. :lol: My cousin, who lives just an hour away from where they are, is meeting them tomorrow!! Yay!!

Thanks for the prayers. :-D

See , so far away and yet they check in all the time ! You raised them very well :wink: And how fun to travel so far and get to meet family

Thanks, Sharon. They are good kids. My son, age 22, still texts me every time he leaves for college and when he arrives there. He comes home every weekend because his college is in the middle of nowhere. They've always been good about keeping in touch.
