We decided to go to Houston, Texas instead of Africa.... Just kidding!

Well, this has definitley been an adventure so far. The day started off as scheduled. We boarded our first flight to Houston this morning at about 10:45 am and arrived in Houston at about 1:15 pm. Pretty painless. We were gearing up for the long flight ahead of us to Amsterdam. We had a two hour lay over in Houston and were to board our next flight at 3:40 pm, and we did. However, once everyone was boarded they announced that the plane was experiencing some electrical problems, so we were just going to have to sit tight for a few minutes while they fix the problem. Meanwhile, a half hour later we decided to get comfy and we both fell asleep. When we woke up an hour later we noticed that we were still on the ground. Soon after the flight attendent announced that they were still trying to repair the plane and it would take another 45 minutes. Then we all had to get back off the plane. So much for 45 minutes... Let's try like two hours later. Which, put us at a total of six hours of waiting around the Houston airport. So, after another hour we realized that we may miss our connecting flight from Amsterdam to Uganda and we should probably go ask for help at the desk. Continental told us they would either put us up in a hotel for a night and we would leave tomorrow afternoon at 3:40 or they would put us up at a hotel in Amsterdam if we still wanted to take the flight we were originally scheduled to take. Ah, sorry if this is confusing... We were confused too. We decided the safest thing to do would be to stay in Houston rather than Amsterdam. So, here we sit updating our blog in our room at the Settle Inn Hotel. We take off tomorrow afternoon at 3:40 pm if all goes as planned. We should arrive in Uganda on Monday around 8:30 pm.

We thank you again for all your love and support! Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

With much love,
Melanie & Megan
