I feel like my kids and dog deserve a break too... from me! I don't know how they dealt with a stressed out mom for 3 months! LOL! Anyway, this is only the start of our adventure overseas and close to my side of the family. :) Andrea on "Last day in the U.S. of A!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-day-in-the-us-of-a#post-1075750 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:07:59 +0000 Andrea 1075750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wow I am so impressed!! Way to go!! erwoo on "Last day in the U.S. of A!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-day-in-the-us-of-a#post-1075749 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:07:13 +0000 erwoo 1075749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MrsCB: She usually pees on a pad so I had her go in the bathroom during our first layover before our longest flight (13 hours), but then we were so delayed connecting to our flight during our second layover that I had to skip it. I felt SO bad... and she refused to drink water and now I know why... b/c she probably had to go pee. She did a HUGE pee right after we got off the plane and, again, I did it in the bathroom. She was such a trooper. She's now in quarantine... for three weeks. :( But I'll get to see her 3x a week which I plan on going to all of them!

(: erwoo on "Last day in the U.S. of A!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-day-in-the-us-of-a#post-1075599 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 02:19:44 +0000 erwoo 1075599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So after flying for over 24 hours, two stops, delays with two toddlers and a dog, 3 huge carry ons, a double stroller and 8 pieces of checked luggage, WE MADE IT! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! My youngest ended up having a 103.5 fever the day before we left and it turned out to be roseola b/c he broke out in a rash last night after his fever broke yesterday. He sat on my lap the ENTIRE time on the plane even if he had his own seat. Thankfully, Delta Airlines' seats aren't as bad as United's. United's economy seats are horrid. I also am thankful for DAL's wonderful entertainment system b/c it kept my oldest occupied the entire time. He was able to pick his own movies to watch b/c it was touch screen. I just had to show him a couple of times what to do. He was the most well behaved out of the three (yes, dog included!). Our dog came in a close second b/c the only time she yelped was whenever someone came to say hi, and my youngest won the prize of worst behaved. He knocked over or was it pushed off (???) my ENTIRE meal just two hours before we landed. Thankfully, I wasn't even hungry. Haha! BUT it's done! My youngest is super whiny and clingy to begin with so you can imagine how he is with that and a fever the entire time. Oh, AND he was teething and cut a tooth during the trip with two coming in fast. How lucky was I??? :P The key to my survival is to ASK FOR HELP! I also asked Delta if they can have someone help me to the gate. Instead, they said I can have one person (I chose my cousin) come with me to the gate. She just had to show her ID and get a pass to get through security. I had three pieces of carry ons and there was no way I was able to carry all of that on and off the plane without asking someone to help me carry one piece on and off. Once I got off I was able to hang our dog and two bags on the stroller while pushing the roll-a-board along with the stroller at the same time. I got A TON of stares...and probably more out of shock than anything that I was able to get everyone going without carrying anything but a small-ish cross-body bag across my chest. My mentality is, "I'll figure it out!" LOL! Here are a few pics of my boys and our dog and all the crap I took with us on the plane. Note that our dog is in the black carrier hanging on the stroller. I am one lucky Mom to have two out of three who behaved! :) [attach=165/13/mswf0y.450x600.photo-1.JPG] [attach=165/13/mswf0z.450x600.photo-2.JPG] [attach=165/13/mswf11.450x600.photo-3.JPG] yin on "Last day in the U.S. of A!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-day-in-the-us-of-a#post-1071155 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:09:53 +0000 yin 1071155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wishing you the best of luck.

I love the support here and I really need it now. My youngest just spiked a fever this afternoon - 103.5! And now my oldest is at 99... and climbing? My WORST nightmare, ever... Doing the onions in the socks for both tonight and keeping my fingers crossed... And apologies if I don't get a chance to respond to some questions right away. I've got a TON to pack up still and want to try to sleep early tonight. I will need the energy for the flights there. See you on the other side of the world! :) T-Mom on "Last day in the U.S. of A!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-day-in-the-us-of-a#post-1070954 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:57:21 +0000 T-Mom 1070954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Best of luck! Very excited for your new adventures in Asia! You are right. If you spent all summer without him, you can manage the flight as well. Go mom!
