Get your "Welcome Home" balloons and signs ready! It'll only be a matter of hours now until we see our boys. I'm sure they've all grown a foot taller, and, in my own son's case, gone another octave lower vocally. They start out 4,565 miles away now, but will at in our arms soon.
The boys leave Munich at 11:50 am their time (4:50 am our time) on NWA flight 8516. They take a 737 from Munich International Airport (airport code MUC) to Amsterdam-Schiphol, Netherlands (airport code AMS). They are due to arrive in Amsterdam at 1:30 PM ( 6:30 am our time).
A little side note for our buddy Jack Z: the Amsterdam airport was in the news a while back for painting flies on their urinals.
From Amsterdam they are to take an A330-300 for NWA flight 0055 to Minneapolis (good ol' MSP). The flight is scheduled to arrive at 5:25 pm our time, but it will feel like 12:25 am Wed. in their brains.
I would guess the boys will try to nap on the flight and they will be very excited and awake to see their families at the airport, but they will crash into their beds (their own beds, finally) by the time they get home. We plan to go out to dinner as a family (getting as many details as we can!) after the airport, and then put Riley to bed.

They arrived in Amsterdam 3 min. early according to the NWA website.
And they took off from Amsterdam 4 minutes early!! They should be here on time. Yeah!
Thank you Bob and Stacy for posting all the great information on this blog. We know it was a lot of work, and we really appreciate it. We were constantly checking throughout the day to see all the new updates and comments.
Roger also did an outstanding job keeping us informed about what the boys were doing.
Mary Jo and Aaron and P.J., we really appreciate all the extra time you put in - especially this weekend with the news about the medal competition and earning the silver medals in both categories.
