Although I can't speak for him exactly, I know what an interesting adventure he is having right now. He flew out of Columbia yesterday around 11:20 to Dallas. The plane was so tiny, luckily he signed up for the row of single seats so he had his own seat for the 2 hour and 45 minute flight. He arrived in Dallas and went directly to his next flight. He told me he really liked that airport, that it reminded him of a mall. He had McDonald's for lunch and bought a milkshake, haha. His flight from Dallas to London was about an hour and a half behind schedule. They were supposed to fly out 5:55 our time but didn't leave until 7:20ish. I was freaking out the entire night, and it was so hard. I hate saying goodbye, especially to someone I really love. He arrived in London around 4 am our time (9 am his time) and called me at 5:15 and he had gotten his visa. He did not call me from his cellphone (which was about to die, and he had left his charger in his checked luggage) but none of that matters because his cell phone doesn't work AT ALL in Europe. UGH. He told me on the flight over he barely slept maybe 2 or 3 hours. He also said that getting his visa was easier, and that was one thing he was really nervous about. And then he informed me that his flight to Edinburgh was canceled. Not sure why, I'm thinking not enough people had signed up for the flight. I fell asleep about an hour after I had talked to him... then like an hour too late I had gotten on my itouch to find that he had bought an hour of wifi and I freakin missed it. I was SO angry with myself. He said in his wall post on Facebook that there were only 5 people waiting for the bus to Edinburgh and that they had to wait until the bus filled up. This was around 8 am or so... our time. I haven't talked to him since so I am thinking he is on the bus for an 8 to 9 hour bus ride. I think this is a good thing though because maybe now he'll get some rest or heck he'll get to see some pretty amazing sights, at least that's what I am hoping for. The only thing I am scared about is him getting to Dundee. He planned for a bus to get him to Dundee around 8 their time so 3 our time. If it's an 8 to 10 hour trip, he may not make it in time.. but I know that God has His hand on all of this and He will keep my baby safe. My family and I are currently trying to get in touch with Dundee to let them know about Trey's situation so that they can be expecting him from a bus not a plane. Please keep praying for him and for safe travel. I will definitely let everyone know when he has finally reached Dundee. I probably won't calm down until then or until I can at least hear his voice or see him on Skype. Thank you so much for your prayers and support for both of us as we go on this journey!
On a better note... I should be receiving my visa in the next couple of days. They have confirmed it and supposedly are shipping it over night to me.
