Up and Over

On John's first trip to China, we were confused by the fact that they flew him to Chicago (north) to go to Asia. We couldn't figure out if he was going to go eastward or westward.

Being the techie that he is, he enjoyed watching the monitor which showed their route as they progressed.

Amazingly, they went up and over the top of the world! Can you believe that? Here is a picture showing their plane as they went over the North Pole. Incredible.

I wonder if he heard tiny hammers? I am sure that the Elves are busy this time of the year. :)

That is so cool. I hope he gets home soon.

(How does he deal with jet lag???)

I like watching the monitor too. Especially when we are getting ready to land.

That is cool that he got to fly over the North Pole.

Oh My goodness that is so amazing to see! How long has he been gone and when is he coming home? Keith and the boys went to Brazil in May and were gone for 2 weeks. I thought I would go crazy for missing them so much. How are you holding up?
