We left Redding just before 6 to drive to Vacaville. When we arrived, we had a couple of hours to kill so I was able to get the rough mix of the project onto my iPod so that I could listen while we travelled. It is going to sound amazing when we've tweaked a little - but Rob has done an amazing job in a short time!
Rob and Michele then dropped us off at the airport - we had to move some luggage around to distribute the weight better! We then had a last cup of coffee and boarded to fly to London.
We then spent about 10 hours in Heathrow - I bought a cover and armband for my iPod and we got some other small nick-nacks. We managed to find a couple of seats that we could lie down on and napped and walked Nia in turns.
The London-Joburg flight was uneventful - I managed to get some shut-eye. Then we were saying goodbye to Pat, paying extra for too much weight (20kg over) for the domestic flights and flying to EL.
Nia did amazingly - she is such a special girl! She took the whole trip in her stride and still managed to be cute and friendly - she is gorgeous!
Carol, Lauren and Carmen were waiting for us at the airport and Nigel arrived a little later (bearing biltong and Cadburys chocolate - what a champ!). We then got a shower, did some shopping for milk and bread and other necessities and then it was off to bed.
I can't believe the trip is over - it has been life-changing! I am excited to see what God is going to do in the next couple of months and beyond - life for the Dembovskys will never be the same!
Thank you Jesus for everything!
P.S. I will be posting the address of the next blog soon - as well as details about the Project!
hey guys. wow. can't believe you're back already. Glad to read you had a good time. Sounds like Nia was angelic as usual, on the way home at least. We're just sorting things out then heading to Joburg on Friday. Love john and Nats
