We safely made it home last night. It sure was a long trip back. The lay overs were four hours at a minimum which is what really got to us. After having spent the day in Phnom Penh and then getting on the plane after midnight it had been about two days since taking showers. Not a pleasant feeling for sure.
Everyone was glad to see the animals and them us as well. Everyone is settling in just fine. We are so thankful for Karen and Rowena for staying at our home while we were gone to take care of our four legged family.
We were glad that we opted for an extra day off school for the girls as they were able to catch up on sleep. This is helping with resetting their biological clocks. They are anxious to see all their friends tomorrow and speak Khmer with them.
Now for the fun of unpacking to begin and doing laundry. The things you don't miss when on vacation.!
We sure miss our family we have in Cambodia. We will be keeping in touch with them through snail mail, email and skype.
We've heard from the people at CASC (Cambodian Acid Survivors Charity). Annie will be presenting two cases to her Zonta group to consider taking on. One is a girl that is in 6th grade who was accidently acid burned when she was a baby and the other a young mother who had acid thrown at her by a passing moto. We sure hope that we will be able to aid these people. This is an organization we intend to stay connected with.
This may be the end of this part of our adventure but the memories and family we have gained will be with us forever. May you all feel the peace and love that we have felt along this journey.
