Long Flight

We flew on Singapore Airlines from Houston to Jakarta. Mommy was worried about how to get a ridiculous number of bags and 3 kids to the baggage counter. We ended up paying one of the skycap guys to haul our luggage to the baggage counter. All the bags were accepted without any overweight fees. Mommy was relieved. They also allowed all of our carry-on baggage.

The first leg of the flight was from Houston to Moscow. In Moscow, we got off the plane and had to go through security again only to get on the same plane about 1.5 hrs. after we got off. The flight then went on to Singpore. The total flight time from Houston to Singapore was approximately 25 hrs. The second flight from Singapore to Jakarta was less than 2 hours.

The kids did really well on the flight. Mommy and Daddy were quite impressed. The Singapore Airlines employees were super nice to the kids. They got all sorts of toys and things to help keep them occupied. The airline food was also pretty good all things considered. We were all able to sleep a little on the flight. Unfortunately, the kids seem to be immune to Dramamine. We gave them all some Dramamine with dinner and they only slept a couple of hours. Mommy and Daddy were hoping they would sleep all night.

We are now all suffering from jet lag. We have also been super busy since arriving, but Mommy will save that for another post.

Here are some pictures from our journey from Houston to Jakarta.



Ready for the big trip!
