Three years ago today - Absolutely the longest day in my life!
We left our hotel in Guangzhou, China at 5:20 that morning. We crossed 14 time zones, going backwards. We spent 15 hours plus on a total of three plans, six hours in a car, and were actually awake 37 hours total. We got home at about 1:30am on November 29th. We'd been frisked at a million security check points, had our seats shuffled and bumped to different flights, listened to a furious(that's a nice word to describe her hostility) two and a half year old who was placed into a car seat for the first time in her life, and struggled to find medical care for Ken who was getting worse and worse by the second.
It was like being stuck in a bizarre science fiction movie. Time was passing, but the clocks weren't moving forward. It was truly the LONGEST DAY EVER!

I can't believe that was your homecoming.
What a nightmare!

We went to an ER in Denver, waited forever, and never saw anyone get helped at all... We went on to Colby where Ken saw a doctor. He didn't really want to let us leave their facility, but we promised him that we'd take Ken to our regular doctor the next morning. Ken was in the Kearney hospital by the next afternoon... and there for several days. NASTY infection!
