At long last we are on our way to Kathmandu! After a 2 hour drive to the airport, and a 13 hour plane ride, we have arrived in Abu Dhabi and are hanging out in the hotel. The flight was actually only 13 hours (only!) instead of the 15 I thought it would be, but it was still long. Leela did great! A few very brief spells of fussiness, but otherwise great. She slept and nursed well, and even Dave and I managed to get some sleep.
When we arrived in Abu Dhabi, the sun had already gone down. I never like arriving in a new place when it's dark. It's impossible to get a lay of the land, and I like to see where I am relative to my surroundings and, of course, to see the scenery! I'm looking forward to the sunrise, which should be in a few hours. Because Leela is still on her EDT schedule, we're not quite wide awake with her at 3 AM.
In less than 24 hours, we will finally arrive at our destination! I hope Leela is as good on the second flight as she was on the first one. She'd better get used to it, because there are many more in her future!

Sounds like a great beginning to a wonderful year. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteIf you are worried about crankyness developing on the second flight, might I suggest a double rum and coke. It is my personal favorite for flights long and short. The thin Oxegyn levels, the sugar, and the alchohol produce the most wonderous of effects.
