Our Flight

Our first flight from Minneapolis to Houston left on time — about two hours into the flight, however, we were informed that there were lightening storms near Houston. So we were diverted to Corpus Cristi, Texas for re-fueling and waiting out the storm.

While flying to Corpus Cristi, we got a spectacular view of the sunset with a background of beautiful clouds.

They didn't let us off the plane in Corpus Cristi but did serve us complementary fruit juice drinks and cookies.

We finally made it to Houston and then had to wait until 11:30 pm to catch our 55 minute flight to Laredo. Of course, all the food courts were closed at the Houston airport by the time we arrived so we just munched on trail bars.

By the time we arrived at Latin American Lutheran Mission it was about 1:30 am. Luckily for us, John, Ken, and Joel had a pizza dinner waiting for us! It was a late night and a short sleeping night!
