Greetings from Panama!

Hey everyone, we have got some down time this morning, Jon is at a meeting for work and Heidi is at work/school also. So I figured I'd give everyone an update on our trip, even though it's our first full day here.

Yesterday was a pretty easy day of travel, even though we had 3 different flights, starting out at 6:40am with our first flight....I had to be up at 2:45 to get up, showered, get the other two up and then pack up the jeep and head to the airport (which is a 45 minute drive from our house). We ended up leaving 25 minutes later than planned but made it to the airport and got on our first flight. Allison slept through most of the plane ride on our way to Memphis. We then went from Memphis to Houston, which was a different story. Allison was just so busy, we colored, watched a Backyardigans DVD, then she finally crashed about 10 minutes before landing. We had a nice 2 hour lay over in Houston, which gave us time to eat a late lunch and wear Allison out a little bit, as we let her walk through the airport instead of riding in the stroller. I recently made a purchase of a little teddy bear that attaches to Allison (like wearing a backpack) and then there is a rope (the tail of the animal) which I had a hold of. I would highly recommend this item to anyone with a toddler!!!!

We finally made it to Panama (after sitting on the tarmac for 20 minutes waiting for our gate to free up) and were greeted by Jon and Heidi at the entrance to the airport around 8pm.
We grabbed a late dinner and headed to the grocery store to purchase some diapers, juice, milk and baby powder for Allison. (the baby powder will hopefully keep moisture off of Allison and me as I've already used some this morning)

It is GORGEOUS here from what I have seen. The weather is a bit on the humid side (something we aren't use to as of right now, since it's been a bit chilly in KC lately), but we are enjoying it all so far! We will visit Heidi's classroom later today and maybe go to a shopping center (so if you want a t-shirt, now is the time to let me know, haha!) I think we will see the Panama Canal tomorrow. I'll try to update while we are here!!
