Here we are ready to go check in. Our journey was interesting. The ride to Fukuoka from Sasebo is about 1 1/2 hours. Once we got to the airport they told me that I couldn't use our carseats and they took away my double stroller. So I had one loaner carseat from the airline and a single stroller to tote around the airport. I was a bit surprised at the lack of help in Fukuoka but that is o.k. Our flight to Narita (Tokyo) was only 1 1/2 hours. We had a seat for each child but since I only had one approved carseat I had to hold a baby on my lap the whole trip - bummer :(
Here is Piper in our single stroller in Fukuoka. I tried to put the babies on their "leashes" and let them walk around but they went crazy and I had them each going in opposite directions so that didn't last long!
When we arrived in Narita I was greeted with a single stroller again which I had to give back at baggage claim for the domestic airline. That meant that I had to get to the international terminal with no stroller and the two car seats that I couldn't use on the domestic airline but could on Delta - grrrr. Luckily the wonderful Delta agent took the time to go "underground" and retrieve my double stroller for me to use during our 6 hour layover in Narita. Thank you Naomi!!!!The kids had a good time running around and getting into mischief in Narita although it was so busy that noone really strayed far from mommy.
This picture was taken about 45 minutes before boarding in Narita. Everyone was getting tired and cranky!
Yay we are on our flight to LA! Once again I didn't have much help but oh well. They made me put the babies in the middle seats of our row so Ben was on one end and I was on the other. This meant that I spent a lot of the flight getting up and down to help him out.
The kids meal on the plane - so Japanese and so cute!
Playing with Grandpa once we finally made it to San Diego. I don't even want to do the math as to how long our trip was. I'm just happy we all made it safe and sound!
This was poor Nate at dinner that night. He could not stay awake!
The morning after.....
