We headed out on our adventure Thursday morning at eight a.m. with Papa, Nana and Grandma in tow.
We made it to Dallas, through security and on the plane with no problems. The first leg of our flight was from DFW to Hong Kong and lasted 16 hours. This had us on the plane through the night Dallas time. Of course things were about to get really confusing with time change. Our flight went smoothly minus the time Isaiah threw up ALL over me (Amazingly enough he didn't get any on himself, just me.) and the fact that I somehow lost my glasses on the flight. How do you do that??? I did. (Also, I learned from the flight attendant club soda is a great stain remover.)
Sleep on the flight was come and go. Elijah slept the best of us all because he had put his sleep mat on the floor of the plane. Isaiah slept on us, so our sleep was come and go. Really I don't know if Mitchell slept at all.
We made it to Hong Kong at 5:00 p.m. their time, 3:00 a.m. Dallas time.
We were quite surprised and excited to see that all their signage was also in English. This made our trip so much easier! We easily found our gate, but had a 5 hour lay over. That gave Elijah plenty of time to ride on the moving walkways. He LOVED those things.
We finally made it onto our plane for Ho Chi Minh city at 11:30 p.m., 9:30 a.m. Dallas time. This flight went smooth as well, but Isaiah let us know several times he was finished using his sign language. Thank goodness for in flight entertainment on this flight. Isaiah was exposed to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Doc McStuffins.
We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City at 12:35 a.m., 12:35 p.m. Dallas time. Thankfully we made it through the customs area, security, and all our luggage made it.
Mitchell's family came to pick us up at the airport. We stayed with his aunt that night, but she lived in another city we had to travel to her home. When all was said and done, we layed our heads on the pillow at 3:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m. Dallas time.
31 and half hours after we left our home.
