Stranded in Jersey

We had a good van ride into Hong Kong and saw some wonderful views of the countryside and city. Arrived about 8:30.Rested well and then
had an amazingly good flight back to the USA. LAikyn was good and slept quite a bit, and I was able to sleep with her. When awake, she played with headphones , pretzel packages and ate a lot. We must have slept 4 or 5 of the 15 hours.

Our flight to Nashville connected in New Jersey and we had to take Laikyn through immigration ( with our most important brown envelope that we we constantly told not not to open)and then get our bags through customs. We told an attendant we were late for our flight, so they got us through customs quickly. It was all faster than we thought and we had about Twenty minutes to check in at our gate to get to Nashville. We went to the gate written on our boarding pass and found that the gate for our flight had been changed. We now had 15 minutes but it required a bus ride to another terminal. I asked the attendant to call the gate and let them know we were on the way. She replied, " no you'll just have to try to make it." When we got to the bus, the attendant there said they would call ahead. We arrived to find out the plane had just departed and the next available flight was not until 7:20 tomorrow morning. Now we are sitting here waiting for a standby for the 7:00 pm flight tonight. IT is full, but the agent said there is a chance there will be seats available. Praying there are!! Im thankful we made it this far, but very sad that my boys and Dad were already waiting near Nashville and will have to miss us if we have to stay here overnight. We were so close and now it seems so far. The adrenaline that was keeping us going is now draining away and fatigue is setting in...
Update : The flight had 3 open seats and we were told that we could have them and hold Laikyn as a lap child. Yeah, like that wouldn't happen anyway. As we gathered our things, two employees took the seat so now we have to stay her until the morning.
