So, yesterday I came up with this "brilliant" idea of trying to "HOP" home for part of the summer. For those of you who don't know what a "HOP" is, basically some military bases allow you to catch a ride to a location the base is going if there is space. So with that being said, things can change at a drop of a hat. Basically when you see a flight that you would like to catch you show up and sign in, and if they have room for you they let you on. Did I mention they only give info 72 hrs out? So you pretty much have to have a bag packed and ready to go pretty much at all times. You continue this process until you get where you want to be, or where you get on a commercial flight.

Today we turned in our paperwork to start the process. Hopefully we get that back and can turn it in to the terminal soon. I have a plan that will get me pretty close to home, and then I have a backup plan incase the first one doesn't work out. Now lets just hope that they work out, and that I don't go crazy flying over 7,000 miles with 2 kids.
I will try to update as I found out more. Hope to see my family soon...
Well as of today, June 15th, our plans have already changed a few times. Still waiting on the first flight to be confirmed. Hope to know more soon. We are all getting a bit excited and ready to go. More updates as I have them.
