Our flight was fine. The kids did great and I managed myself. Everyone’s TVs worked and we hunkered down for the long haul. My husband slept a fair amount. My daughter got about two hours. My son and I didn’t sleep much and when they turned on the lights about 30 minutes after our son fell asleep he was very upset. Thank goodness the flight attendant was willing to bring him a Coke during the breakfast service.
We hit some intense turbulence in the middle of the flight. And then again on our decent. Our daughter threw up into many sick bags on the way down but she felt better once we landed.
The heat was… oppressive. Those of sleeping on the third floor of the AirBnB were struggling last night. But we did sleep through the night (some of us needed to take more melatonin around 2am to get back to sleep).
We’re heading out now and I’m not paying for cell service so I’m going to post this. I hope everyone’s doing well.
Welcome to the UK, glad your journey here was smooth. Hope you have a great trip. We are heading to Hawaii tomorrow via Toronto. Hoping for an easy journey too but expecting the worst.
Glad you made it. I am looking forward to your recaps when you get home and have a moment to write.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! was thinking about you all and am delighted by all but the turbulence and needing the ‘sick bag’. NEITHER are fun. I HATE TURBULENCE with real depth and experience.
Good to know you managed the heat too. Believe today should be slightly easier. Fingers crossed. I suspect you will get more information on the heat impacts than our news will cover. I am seeing that UK/N. Europe housing and systems and buildings have been built to protect from freezing cold not heat; is this what you are seeing in the media there?
HOPE next few nights everyone sleeps better. And that you all are having a wonderful memory building time and tell us parts of it.
Have a glorious time!
Glad the kids did well on the plane! It’s usually us long-legged adults that have a harder time with the long flights. 🙂 Fingers crossed the heat breaks quickly for y’all!
