After a series of ordeals that involved making me run from one end of the terminal to the other 5 times to get tickets and luggage straightened out at the Hanoi airport, resulting in us almost missing our flight (I got there 3 hours ahead of time!), we boarded the plane successfully. Lots of help from the crew, and the kids did really well: Tuck had a worried face for the first 30 minutes, but didn't get overly stressed. Jones just settled in and started throwing stuff around the cabin, so it was pretty much business as usual for him!
Lucky for us, the flight was relatively empty, and the boys actually slept an hour or so. They had a nice bassinet set up for Jones, and then waited an hour into his blissful sleep to tell me he was too big, and woke him up; which of course woke up Tuck... Ah well!
Anyway, we're hanging in a hotel room at the airport, where I have successfully been able to keep Tuck and Jones awake and active... fingers crossed it will pay off in the form of a few hours sleep over the Pacific!
See you on the other side!
Good Luck and welcome home! I don't envy your plane ride...I just got off a flight with Kian to the mainland it was 16 hours....I can't even imagine 2 babies! you go Cliff!!!! good luck and keep us posted.
