Boomer's flight is booked He will be arriving in America in one week. Missy and Carol fly the following week. I think sending Boomer ahead is the best option so they don't have as much to worry about when they make their flight.

Driving to Tokyo to ship Boomer will be a first for Missy - it can be very hectic as the traffic is like nothing I have ever seen before It is only 100 miles or less but took almost SIX HOURS the first time hubby and I visited.
Also, this way, we pick up Boomer ahead of time and it will give us time to help him get adjusted and we can then get ready (readier!!) for Missy and Tyler to be here.

Please keep up the prayers and good thoughts PT friends!
