Our day started early on Tuesday. We hung out at the SLC Airport happy as ever, ready to go :)
First flight to JFK. We made the mistake of NOT buying some neck pillows in SLC. So, we bought some at JFK. I was feeling horrible, stomach bug, and any comfort was welcome, even if it meant buying the pillow at 50% more than it was in SLC.
Fortunately we had a nice comfortable ride on both planes. No one with us on the first flight and then we each got our own row on the second flight. SOO NICE! I needed the room to lay down, I was a mess. Didn't eat anything all day in fear that i would quickly throw it all back up.
After 11hrs of flying and 2.5hrs of lay overs, we were finally in COLOMBIA!!!!
YAY!!!!!
We waited a about 25ish minutes for Tomi. Our flight had landed a little sooner than she expected and the lines through immigration where very short. We tried calling her on a man cell phones and seconds later, she was there :) hoooray!!!!
We hurried home to finally meet Chuma and we were SO very pleased that everything we had heard and seen of him was true. He is an amazing guy. Tomi is one lucky girl and Chuma is one lucky guy!
Chuma is a fabulous guitar player and singer, among other things. We were up until 2am listening to him play and laugh and getting to know each other. Later, Tomi and Chuma sang the song they would be singing at the ceremony... I bawled like a baby! The love they have for each other is simply beautiful! I couldn't help myself.
Esteban pretended to play... Tia Maggie had been sewing all night. She has made all of the nieces dresses for our wedding. She is pretty much a genius when it comes to sewing anything. Its always fun to see her and be with her!
True Love....
