Back home!!!

We made it back home after 3 flights of 6.5 hours, 7.5 hours, and 9 hours. We had a little over 2 hours at the Dubai airport and Heathrow in between flights; so a total of 27+ hours from the time we left Mauritius to the time we got to the Minneapolis airport. We were getting worried about missing our flight in London since we waited at the counter (system problem) for our boarding passes to get printed. Heather got sick once from Dubai to London; thought it was motion sickness. Then she got sick 5 more times from London to Minneapolis. We kept running out of bags. The lady across the aisle from us had a hard time eating her meals because she could see Heather getting sick and she could smell it too.
We were one of the first ones to get through passport control and I told Heather we would be the first ones to get our luggage since they were likely the last ones on (luggage guy had come looking for me on the plane asking for my luggage tags to make sure he had the right ones to get on the flight in London). We waited almost an hour before I decided the luggage was just not going to be there and I had to put a claim for our luggage. If you've ever been to the Heathrow airport you would probably know why the luggage did not make it at the last minute.
Sydney, Kayli, and Paul were waiting for us when we came out. To Heather's surprise, her friend Sarah was there too to welcome her home. We had to stop at Costco on the way home because Heather was craving a blueberry muffin for a loooong time.
We promiss to add pictures to the blog as we have time. We took about 4,000 pictures!!!! So, keep checking the blog for more stories and pictures.
