March 26, 2011 - Day 8
Hoy!
After a full day of rest and traveling back to Manaus, we have arrived! I just wanted to let you know where we'll be over the next 2 days as we make our way back to the states. We just spent our afternoon buying souvenirs for you all. Oh and, no big deal, but Bill Clinton actually got to say hi to a few of us (no joke) as we played pool in the Tropical hotel of Manaus today. He, along with Sir Richard Branson and Arnold Schwarzeneggar, are speaking at a Global Sustainability conference (Amen Lord) and was blessed to make eye contact with yours truly. We are now lounging on the mother ship awaiting to depart for dinner. Afterwards, we'll be waiting at the departure gate from 11pm to 2am (so please pray for patience and that we manage to entertain ourselves!). Then, the journey commences:
Sunday
2:40 am - depart from Manaus to Brasilia
6:30 am arrive in brasilia
9:00 am depart for Miami
3:40 arrive in MIA
7:25 depart for DFW (Flight AA 1973)
9:40 HOME!!! I wish I could tell you exactly what gate we'll be arriving at, but unfortunately we will not know until Miami.
It's been such a blessing serving my Amazon family through writing this blog; I've loved being the one to document the beauty that we've experienced. So from me, (Skye) to you (readers), thanks for tuning in! My prayer is that many, for years to come, will write on this same boat sharing the stories of God's restoration in the Amazon.
See YA'LL in the TX!
Until the whole world hears,

Oh and Paul Stuart the Amazing Dude will be speaking at the hotel about sustainability (joke). Paul is totally awesome (joke). He invented the essence of masculinity; then Jon Lamb made it Godly (also joke).
I kissed Arnold Schwarzeneggar! California represent what what!!! <3 Chrissy Allison
Chris Manack wants to thank all my family and friends that gave their prayers and finances that allowed me to make this trip. Thank you all and God bless.
