Melissa's on her way home

Yep Kaohsiung is home.

We had a nice last day, lunch at Eastside Mario's and a 4:30 flight. It never gets easier to say bye. Certainly gets different with 5 1/2 years of practise and maybe not as hard, but not easy. She'll get home Thursday morning or our Wednesday night. When she crosses the International Date Line she will have had about 5 hours of the 15th and then it will be the 16th!

It was GREAT visit. It had some low points with Jay & Julie, but so many other wonderful times were had with a WIDE variety of family and friends. Melissa even got to attend the Satellite Willow Creek Leadership Summit at Lakeview. Visits with friends and family in Saskatoon, Regina, PA, Arlington Beach. Visitors were in Saskatoon at the same time from Belfast, Moose Jaw, Ontario, Australia, B.C.. Melissa got several good visits with Parker & Shawna, The Tea Ladies, and a couple old roommates. Why at the airport she even met someone she knew returning to Kaohsiung on the same flight!

Well the saga continues, these farewells are so physically draining......................nap time.

It was great to see her when we were up. Thanks for having us over that afternoon.

Hope you don't miss her too much! :)
