Saturday was our big departure day. We arrived at the airport extra early, a good thing since the lines were huge with delays on several United flights. Our flight took off on time though and the boys had their very first experience flying. They had fun on take-off and did fine the rest of the trip outside of some minor ear aches when landing. We had a short layover in San Francisco for some fish & chips at the airport then boarded for a 13+ hour trip to Auckland, New Zealand. Both boys were amazing in how well they got along. After a couple hours of TV/games on video screens Kyle started feeling sick so it was time for Dramamine and lights off. Both boys slept about eight hours through the night. (I wish I could say the same!) We had a couple hours in Auckland for our rear-ends to recover before boarding a 4-hour flight to Melbourne. We played a little of the “your plane is broken and you get a new one” then “oh, never mind we fixed it” but eventually our flight took off. It was a relief when we finally landed in Melbourne. The extended flying time had caught up with Jarrod by then and he was a little worse for wear but we all survived.
