As we pulled back into Ho Chi Minh city last night at the height of rush hour, my senses balked at the onslaught of chaos. After 5 days at the beach we were all Blissful Bamboo Villagers, Saigon seemed particularly insane.
I said out loud that we weren't in Kansas anymore....that got me thinking about this Journey. If Cindy is Dorothy she has been following the yellow brick road for 2 long years to get to Oz and find Toto...Trey.
For the final part of her odyssey to Oz she is joined by me. I figure I'm scarecrow since I keep finding myself wishing I had a brain. Kate would be the Tin Man, because she is all heart. There is no Cowardly Lion...on this trip we are all brave.
I think that Glenda that good witch would have to be Yen. She eased us in here and kept us on the right road. The crown for Wicked Witch Of the West would have to be worn right now by the department of the US Government that is holding up Trey's Visa and Cindy and Trey's return home.
How I wish that Cindy could just click heels three times and say, "there's no place like home" to find herself back in Minnesota. No paper work headaches and no 30 hours plane rides.
Short of that please keep Cindy and Trey in your prayers as I get ready to board a plane in Saigon for my 30 hour trip back to my family. As much as I can't wait to see my boys and Brian, it's breaking my heart to leave Cindy, Trey and Kate knowing their adventure well continue.
Let's hope they will all be following me soon.
Warm thoughts and safe travels.
peace-
