Good to be closer to our arrival - and almost back home.

AMS
We had a layover in Amsterdam waiting for our flight to SE Asia. Tracy had splurged for lounge access. . .so we watched her head to that life of leisure. Rania and I were not able to head into the city due to the delay on our arriving flight, so we found a place to chill before getting some food at the food court.
We were grateful for some quite comfortable chairs in one lounge area. You can see Rania captured such a great sleeping pose!
We grabbed a bite to eat before heading to our next flight.

Please Wait
DTW
Unfortunately, a very long 4-hour delay resulted in a much later departure for Amsterdam - meaning Rania and I will miss the chance to go into the city and use our tickets for the Rijksmuseum.
Pizza Goodbyes
So grateful for Jason and Nicole and family for hosting us for some delicious gluten-free (and gluten variety as well) pizzas before our departure.
Cemetery Visit
It was good to have Carrie there to help show the way and give historical background.

Sorting
Did some sorting of some items that probably no longer are need of being kept - like random HS award plaques (do plaques still exist?). A final picture before getting rid of those things that are taking up room.

Evening Sky
Wow, what a sky and such an impressive sky in a cooler evening as we get ready for the final days in Ohio before returning to KL, school, and work.

Denison
The last college tour (and interview) of the summer season. . .and maybe forever. Denison has quite the picturesque location on the hill in Granville, Ohio. Again, the photos are on Tracy's phone and appear to be lost. We'll see if any pictures may be able to be resurrected. One of the takeaways, given the limitation of only applying to ten schools, is how many of the quite selective schools are wise to apply to. Putting Vasser, Haverford, Denison, Grinnell in a similar sort of basket may result in some prioritization as Rania decides what is best in the coming weeks and months.
Did get a picture from Rania!

Dayton University and Miami, Ohio
We had tours at University of Dayton and Miami, Ohio - both pretty impressive campus situations. The tour guide at Miami, Ohio was from SE Asia (Philippines?) and was really animated - though did tell the funny story of mixing up Miami, Florida with Miami, Ohio. Both sure seem to have some impressive aspects of their campuses - and good to see some different options.
Somehow, we can't find any pictures of our day. I think that is because Tracy and I swapped phones so I could use her data for the drive with Waze. . .and then didn't get the pictures off her phone before it was stolen. Bummer, though Rania did pass on some pictures.
These top two pictures are of Dayton University.
This is a picture from Miami, Ohio.

Auckland Arrival
Reeve has been in New Zealand for a while, so good to get some pictures of him with Marilyn - and the beautiful (and colder!) weather.
