Why isn't there a contest for FS R&R travel stories somewhere -- yours would truly qualify for a free upgrade and overnight at a connecting destination. Glad you are all safely there, important things have caught up with you and your are still sane enough to write it all down and share. And have a wonderful and restful R&R!Nomads By Naturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893950431543999751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352804874271718195.post-46402487561586108792012-07-21T07:34:04.384-04:002012-07-21T07:34:04.384-04:00oh my goodness i can't even imagine how you ma...oh my goodness i can't even imagine how you made it through. you are amazing!Bfileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657766918735380467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352804874271718195.post-21477180602848750832012-07-20T13:47:09.103-04:002012-07-20T13:47:09.103-04:00I have been on a few flights with young kids that ...I have been on a few flights with young kids that turned out horribly.

Once it took us two days to get home, dragging baby and toddler all the way down to the southern cone of south america. What memories! Thanks for sharing your story. I applaud you and your ability to inject humor into a painful ordeal. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157737357069191041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352804874271718195.post-71891488891092771592012-07-18T07:26:13.400-04:002012-07-18T07:26:13.400-04:00Yey, for getting to FL with all your stuff (ultima...Yey, for getting to FL with all your stuff (ultimately) and no one seriously injured. Do enjoy your well-deserved R&R. I was you a month ago (except I didn't have a 9-yr old and a husband with me). I also had a 55 min layover(20 mins of which were spent waiting for my gate-checked stroller) and did the running through security and the trying to find our gate before our flight took off. To top it off, they didn't do sleeves for our flights that day, so I had to fold the stroller and lug it together with the toddler and most of our carry-ons up and down stairs and in and out of buses (so annoying). I think I probably lost a couple pounds just sweating and stressing that day but gained it back and then some by routinely overeating for a month at our destination.Daniela Swiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375056786777183752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352804874271718195.post-32629726060208406062012-07-18T06:08:18.803-04:002012-07-18T06:08:18.803-04:00We've had some rough trips (Muffin booked as b...We've had some rough trips (Muffin booked as both a lap baby and an unaccompanied minor -- as a one-year-old -- when she was supposed to have her own ticket, accompanied by me; then on the same trip she was routed through Miami while I was routed through Chicago -- stood in line for 2 hours to get the booking fixed, just to have the flight they finally put both of us on canceled anyway), but nothing like that! Glad you all finally made it and hope the vacation is relaxing now!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475477442377719233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352804874271718195.post-70159090257530745162012-07-18T05:46:22.936-04:002012-07-18T05:46:22.936-04:00Oh god. That is really one for the books. But yes,...Oh god. That is really one for the books. But yes, we've been there too, in another form. My favorite was the time I took the two kids, at that time were 1.5 & 3 by myself from Adana, Turkey to LA. This is a 33 hour journey. We FINALLY land in LA after no one has slept more than 2-3 hours, and in the doorway of the aircraft, my daughter lays down and has a full on screaming, kicking temper tantrum so no one could get off plane. Took a few people to pick her up and just move her out of the way so people could pass. That was the point at which I cried. But now, just a few years later, they are SOO much easier to travel with. pros in fact. enjoy your vacation and good luck finding the ipad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352804874271718195.post-35455283601175078222012-07-18T05:30:17.917-04:002012-07-18T05:30:17.917-04:00Sigh, I have gained a few white hairs just reading...Sigh, I have gained a few white hairs just reading that, but I also laughed so hard. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
