Transcript excerpt

We live on a cruise ship. Today is day 885. I'm Jess. And I'm Jess. Come see our backyard rank hit that follow. Our flight left on time at 1AM, but our connecting flight is scheduled to leave Morocco before our flight will arrive. We are just, praying that everything's gonna go fine. You can see a little bit of turbulence. Jeff's trying to drink his tier, not very successfully. At the end of the day, they did get us connecting flight. They had to move us from rural tier, Morocco. Good morning. Tier. To Turkish Air, but Royal Air, Morocco did a great job and did put us on another airline. We left, Morocco at around 2PM. By the time we got to our hotel, it was 2AM the next day. So we did make it successfully into Istanbul. We are here and so happy and delighted to have finally arrived. We'll keep you posted of our journey. Our surgeries are on the sixteenth and seventeenth. Follow along to see our procedures. I'm having a brow lift, and Jeff is having hair transplants. See you tomorrow. Bye for now.
