As I write this White Bear Lake's newest US citizen and her mother are sitting on the tarmac at Los Angeles International airport taxiing to the runway to take off! They are on Northwest flight #308 from LAX to Minneapolis. Right now in checking the flight status, it looks like they might get in a few minutes early (currently on nwa.com the estimated arrival time is 9:10 PM and the scheduled arrival time is 9:36 pm).
I talked with Barbie briefly while she was waiting to board in LA. She said they had no trouble getting through immigration and customs in LA and they arrived at their gate in time to eat Burger King before the flight.
For those coming to the airport to welcome the girls home, you might check on nwa.com to see when the flight will get in. We will be trying to find Barbie and Julia in the baggage claim area as she comes out of the secured area upstairs in the terminal. Look for the group of people who look really excited.
Thanks to all of you for your love and support during our adoption process!
Doug, Barbie, Thomas, Helen, and Julia
