Our exchange students both left us today. They both extended their stay as long as they could but we all knew this day had to come sometime. Sara was the first to head home on a 12pm flight with Maria scheduled for a 3pm flight the same day. Unfortunately Sara's flight was canceled from DTW to Newark which meant she would not make her flight to Rome. The airlines solution was too route her though Dallas adding almost 10hrs to her trip home. Luckily she had a good host mom that jumped in to help convincing the airlines folks this was a bad idea. They moved her to Maria's flight and they got to sit together all the way to Germany at which point they then went their own ways. We are really going to miss those kids. Its been a fun year but I know they were really disappointed in that they only got to go to school for a total of 4 days this year and unfortunately did not make any American friends outside of our family. I know our entire family is looking forward to seeing them again soon. Hopefully the borders will open soon and we can fly over to visit all three of our bonus kids soon!
