Going to get my son!

I am soooooo lucky I was able to actually get a decent price on flights that leave tomorrow! I will finally get to meet my son. Our return date will be next Thursday. My Mom and Stepdad will go with me and we will be at the Marriott.

Will anyone else be there from here?

I can't believe it is actually happening.
