Coming Home

This might sound crazy, but we didn't buy our tickets home from China until the day we left.

A couple months before we left, we looked into buying tickets home and they were a little (okay, a lot) more than we had planned on spending. So we decided to see what it would cost if we were to leave 3 days from then and the price was right.

So we decided to wait.

Two days before we planned to leave, the tickets for the next day were the right price but tickets for the day after were still quite high. But we had been checking all week and that was how the prices had been going. Plus, we wanted one more day.

But I had a nagging feeling we should leave then, as if it wouldn't be cheap the next day. It had been cheap the next day and not cheap the day after all week, so I figured it was just me being anxious to get home as quickly as possible. So we didn't buy the tickets.

The next day it still hadn't gone down, but we figured it most likely would by the time we got back from the wall.

It didn't.

The next morning, after a few prayers and a lot of searching in every travel site we could think of (even the chinese ones); we found some that weren't quite as cheap, but almost.
Ten minutes later we were on our way to the airport.

24 hours later we arrived in the Calgary Airport, tired but happy to be home!
