Space-a is ok!

After a failed attempt to get a space-a flight for Alyson, and having to purchase a commercial ticket for her, we were a little wary of getting the four of us out. We were two categories higher (since we were traveling with the Soldier) but there were few flights to where we wanted to go and still a lot of vacationers trying to get home. 

We got the leave paperwork signed, got ourselves on the list, and war gamed the flights with our best chances. It's nerve-wracking to sit in a crowded terminal hearing names called off, hoping yours is one.  

But ours was!

After arriving at 8:30 pm for a 1am flight, we were on! (By the way, the USO at Ramstein is awesome! It made passing the time much nicer...)

We had an up eventful overnight trip to Baltimore and after clearing customs and waiting an hour for our luggage, then renting a car, we were on the road! Very tired, but on the road.

We had one important stop before we got too far. 

Oh, was it worth the wait!

We got to Greensboro, checked into the hotel early, and then had to wait a little while for his daddy to get off work before we could go see our baby....

It was worth the wait, too. ❤️

And that is pretty much what we've been doing all week. Space-a came through and got us to our baby boy.
