Give yourself time...

Just in case....

Reminder: There is a big difference between Customs and Immigration. Customs can take VERY little time. Immigration, however, can take anywhere from an hour to three. Obviously, immigration is not necessary if returning from a visit trip. Pickup is a different story.

When we returned from pick-up, we had just under three hours for our layover. Think we had about 1/2 hour to spare (through Atlanta). I was very sad for the other four families clearing with us. They all missed their connections. They even had a separate officer working solely for the adoptive families and it still took quite a while. Can't speak about Houston, but I would assume that delays are possible anywhere.

Better safe than sorry, especially with a new baby. Our travel agent had advised us of this. Glad he did.

Happy Travelling and prayers for speedy PINK!!
Kris
