Well, that 2 hour delay on the tarmac in the plane ended up being three hours, include riding out a severe thunderstorm on the airplane. They finally had to cancel our flight, much to our disappointment. We found a hotel in Chicago, and spent the night here. We found out this morning that O'Hare actually evacuated everyone who was in the terminal to the basements during the storm (which we rode out in the airplane), so we are very, very thankful for our safety last night, despite how frustrating it was at the time.
We are soon heading back to O'Hare to try again to get to Miami. We all have seats on the last flight of the day that goes from O'Hare to Miami. Some of us might try to get on earlier flights on stand-by, but there are a lot of backed up planes and flight schedules right now due to the storms (apparently they were in a lot of areas of the country last night). We would really, really appreciate prayers that we are able to make it to Miami tonight, so we can fly to Haiti Thursday morning.
We are making quite the memories :) It's definitely interesting travel, but we'd really like to get to Haiti soon.
Thank you for your prayers for us and our traveling!
