Our Adventure Begins


The flight:  I Sandi, promise to never fly the red eye again.  Our flight to Orlando left at 10:00 pm, but we had a layover in Vegas for two hours at 12:00. We then arrived in Florida at 7:00 am. This pic is of our kids in the airport, tired but obviously not bored.  ( wish we had all these devises riding in the hatch of the Toyota Corrolla, all the way to California).  You can"t see but Jess is on her lap top and Conner is asleep.  US airways picked our seating for us and did not place any of us together on the plane.  Conner and Nikki were expected to sit alone on a six hour flight unless we could get someone to trade.  Scott worked out his situation with Conner but when I asked the lady sitting in J20 to sit in k20 ( both window seats by the way) so I could sit with Nikki...SHE SAID NO.  So Nikki began to cry.  This didn't even phase the lady. This lady was also probaly tipping the 300 pound mark and couldn't fit in her seat.  The man on the other side of me was also tipping 300 pounds.  So I was squished between two chubbies  with my daughter crying in the row behind me.  Luckily for me I am married to a knight in shining armor.  Scott saw my situation and with his charming ways got the stewardess to go around asking everyone on the plane if they would move around to get Nikki and I sitting together.  Finally we ended up sitting together.  After a night of a baby constantly crying a few rows back and a little boy continually tossing his cookies all night. No sleep for Sandi and off to start the fun vacation.  No more red eye flights...please remind me of this.
