Lots of folks have asked "how was the trip?" If I had to choose one word to describe it I would choose "LONG" :) But if given a second word, I'd definitely go with "SMOOTH".
Seriously, all things considered (a 14 hour plane ride with three young children), it was just plain smooth. [Except technically speaking, the flight was actually one of the most turbulent I've ever been on, so when I say SMOOTH I'm not referring to low turbulence!]
The most traumatic event came about three hours in to the long ride when one of Lydia's colored pencils dropped into the airplane potty. Not a happy moment. But we recovered nicely, and even enjoyed about four hours of simultaneous child-sleep at the end of the long flight. Unfortunately, since our family of five shared four seats (imagine the whole family on a not very comfortable love seat with no leg room), three kids sleeping did not leave a lot of space for adult sleeping. Oh well. I wasn't planning on a lot of sleep anyways :)
The best part? All the smiles waiting for us at the end of the journey!
