Arrival

we made it safely to the states. The boys did great on the flights--we soaked up compliments from people who saw how well our boys handled the two successive 8 hour flights.

Things were a little hard in Chicago... our flight was cancelled, so we spent a few hours bumping around the airport. I did manage to find a few people that actually looked worse than us.

ANYWAYS...

For some unexplanable reason, our children have decided that 3 am is wake up time. They are getting quality time with their papa and nana... even before they leave for work!

We have decided why so many people have accidents here. Driving is too boring. Perfect paved roads, no livestock or bicycle taxis. It's nearly impossible to keep out of the ditch.

OK, free travelers tips:

1) Lie about your age and request the British Airways child meal. As I am eating "sausage and mash" and "rice pudding supreme", Josiah is eating CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES!!! He had a whole bowl of chocolate covered fruit.

2) Nobody checks your bags for fluids when you have two kids with you.

3) Heathrow Terminal 4 has a hidden area called "quiet seating area". Its toward the end of the gate 1-6 corridor, and it has seats that are like recliners.

maybe we will make more discoveries on the flight back...
