Once we got there I leaded Helen and Virgie Wells to the Lufthansa check-in counter, since they weren´t quite sure where they were supposed to go, because this was their first time out of the country. Surprisingly, it didn´t take that long to check-in even though we were pretty early (about 3 or 4 hours ahead of time). Unfortunately, we didn´t get bulkhead seating because there was a lot of kids on our flight.
By the time we got through security, we had plenty of time to relax at the gate. I got a sandwhich and some fruit for my dinner before the plane. Because she had a wheelchair, we got to pre-board. The Wells sat next to each other, while I sat behind them. I sat next to an older man who also pre-boarded, because he had trouble walking. The man next to me was very nice, even though he didn´t speak English that well. He was from the Ukraine, and spoke Russian. He lived in the US for 22 years, but apparently lived in a community filled with Russians, so he
wasn´t able to speak fluent English.
The flight was about 10 or 11 hours. It was good for the first 5 hours or so for me, because I was able to watch a good movie. But after that, I started to feel really nautious. I ended up throwing up quite a bit twice after that. I´m not quite sure why I threw up, but I´m pretty sure it was because of some food poisoning. After our plane landed, we were able to get to our connecting flight easily because of the good wheelchair service. We even got to ride on one of those cool cart things for the disabled.
The second flight was a little bit hard for me, because I still felt bad. I only threw up once at the beginning, and after I felt a little bit better. I was so happy to finally see my parents when we landed in Valencia.
However, it took awhile to get to our hotel. We had to take the subway and wait 10 stops, then switch trains, and finally on the next stop we were able to walk about one block to our hotel. When we finally go to our room, I couldn´t wait to sleep.

Hi Naomi,
I was sorry to hear you were so sick! That's no fun, and especially while you are traveling. I am praying you are better and can enjoy the rest of the trip.
Say hi to all, and tell Steve I've been enjoying his blogging a lot. It's nice to know he isn't going hungry over there!

Well, Guess that wasn't just allergies, huh, Mom. Goes to show that Doctors dont have all the answers. God wanted you there for a reason. Who knows, maybe there is someone in the hospital with you that needs Gods intervention. I wouldn't put that past our God. Take care, get better, Tell Helen to take a nap. She'll need all the energy she can get. Helen, Becky and my cell will be on 24/7 if need to reach us. luv both ya! Been praying for all the team! Cant wait to hear what GOD has done.
