Hey all. Lots of people have been 'threatening' to meet us at the airport when we arrive with our new package. So, here's the down and dirty on our travel for Friday, Sept 5th. Our flight into Detroit (NW26) is supposed to land at 1:35pm local time. (Sue, I know you probably can't worm your way thru security but I wanted to at least let you know when we would be there.) Flight to Norfolk (NW1770) departs at 5:17 and arrives in Norfolk at 7pm on the dot.
A word of warning - Ty is very shy around new people and has proven he is capable of melting down at the drop of a hat. He will be tired and cranky (I'm sure all of us will) but I don't want that to stop any well wishers from coming. Just be prepared that he may not be on his A game (or even B or C game). It may sound crazy but we are going to try to upgrade to business class on the long flight from Tokyo to Detroit - they have reclining seats and I wouldn't be eating my knees for 12 hours. We haven't spent as much money as we thought we would over here so it may be worth it to buy the upgrade. Keep your fingers crossed it's not an arm and a leg - an arm we will do but we need that leg to get us around the airport. He doesn't like the taste of Benedryl so we may have to slip him a mickey - he refuses to eat teddy grahams anymore b/c the 'test mickey' (aka disolving b-dryl strip) we gave him was hidden in a teddy graham sandwich. Barring that, there's always the option of a Screwdriver - avail for the low price of $5 from you friendly flight attendant. Uh, just kidding...kind of.
OK this isn't the official daily post - just a quick itinerary update. I'll blog a little more later.

Yeah, Friday is almost here. Hang tough and get those upgrades. You can do without an arm, but do keep your legs for the airport schleping. Lots of prayers are going your way and He'll get you through. XOXO Mom & Nai Nai or whatever TY calls me.
