We Made it!

Wow, what a trip! We are home safe and sound. It feels so good. We had quite a few nice surprises from Grandma and Grandpa and a warm welcome from our wonderful family and neighbors here in Evansville when we arrived. Marlee cried and screamed about half the trip from Guangzhou to Tokyo. We thought we might not endure the trip from Tokyo to Detroit. But, she had a wonderful 11 hour ride! By the time the trip from Detroit to Evansville came around it was old hat. Our timing is all off now. We are so tired. Marlee doesn't know what to think yet of her new place. It is a bit overwhelming. The kitties are kinda scary for her at present. We did get some sleep and woke up around noon today. We will post some pictures of our trip and part two of our movie shortly so stay tuned!
