just barely

It appears kate and I just made it out of Heathrow airport a few days back. We missed the complete shutdown of one of the busiest airports in the world by a day. I talked to someone yesterday who spent 15 hours trying to get out, and finally gave up.
Whether you choose to see it as coincidence or God's timing, our plans would have been massivly delayed by who knows how long.

So now you can't bring liquids on planes, at least for the time being because the terrorists were apparently using some form of liquid expolosive. .......I'm waiting for the day to come when all we can wear on an airplane are the clothes on our back and no luggage because it's just not safe anymore.

Today we'll make the journey over to Glasgow, the second largest city in Scotland and according to Kate's grandfather (born and raised there) is where we should have planted the church originally. Mike and Andrea Sanders, a missionary family from Arkansas have offered a room in their "inn" for a few nights, so we look forward to some consecutive nights in one place and getting to know a great family.

Anyone out in the blogosphere have any traveling story nightmares? please, indulge.

Also, kate and I have discovered our addiction to our mac computers and internet. I'll be away from my sweetheart, I mean my imac G5 20inch beautifully designed machine for 2 weeks and we barely have access to internet. I guess our patience and heightened awareness of addictions have been great lessons already. Though I hear that the house we're staying at has wireless........we're living 5 star now:)
