Safe Arrival

The four of us are snuggled up on a big comfy bed in a charming hotel called the San Carlos watching "El Mundo Divertido de Peep," (The fun world of Peep). Because it is a cartoon intended for children under age 5, I am understanding everything! We had a safe, rather uneventful flight. We were surprised to see the family who sat in front of us on the plane, check into the same hotel. We were especially delighted to discover that they are here to pick up their two little girls. They are on exactly the same schedule we are in terms of consulate appointment and trip home. Another family we met at dinner, was here visiting their little girl. The Mom warned me that it had taken three days for their little one to warm up to them, but watching her smiling with her new family was pure joy. Tony and I are surprised that we don't feel any nervousness or anxiety. We just feel peaceful and calm about putting the missing piece in our family puzzle.
