What a busy day (s) (42 hours to be exact) of traveling!
On Thursday 3/14 we flew from Hong Kong to Japan and then from Japan to Atlanta and then Atlanta to Austin...
So the question of the day is....how did Lottie do?!
Well Lottie did AMAZING, she is an expert traveler & never made a peep!
The first flight was 3.5-4 hours and it was in the morning time-so Lottie sat in our lap played and happily watched Disney movies. She watched Cinderella and Finding Nemo! We arrived in Japan to discover our 2 hour layover was extended to a 6 hour layover, boy were we bummed. We were so happy from our successful first flight we were ready to take on the 12 hour flight, and disappointed with the delay. Luckily the delayed flight took off on its 2nd departure time, we were so ready!
The second flight now delayed 4 hours was late in the afternoon, we settled into our seats, and Lottie did even better then the first flight. She satin our laps, and played. She drank her evening bottle and went down to sleep for 6 hours straight. She woke up and we fed her and she fell back to sleep! Can we say amazing baby?! The flight was harder on us as we had more trouble sleeping yet we were exhausted!
Landing in Atlanta, we knew we would be cutting it close to get through immigration and recheck our baggage. Our assumption was correct after waiting for immigration for about 45 minutes we realized we would be missing our flight to Austin. After moments on the phone with a Delta representative we then realized we were stuck in Atlanta for the night! Talk about disappointment! We were so tired, basically had been up for 24 hours straight, we were stinky, and so ready to be home! After a 3.5 hour wait in immigration, we missed our homecoming celebration and introducing Lottie to her Grandparents. Thankfully Delta took care of everything, bought dinner, and put us in a very nice hotel. We didn't make it to Austin but will be landing at 10 am on Friday morning. It will be so nice to be home!
