7/16 We are here!

We have arrived. We are exhausted. The flight was direct; Newark over the North Pole to Beijing, about 15 hours. It was a good flight; smooth and quiet. DS1 was awesome. He only slept 2 hours, but was well behaved; stickers, coloring, toys, movies, cartoons and even a couple books. He sat with me the whole time and was a better flier than DH who sat one row behind us by choice. It seems like any flight over 4 hours leads me to question my choice in spouse, but here we are.

We brought along two "Zoobie pets". Bit expensive but I highly recommend. Looks like a stuffed animal but unstuffs into a blanket and pillow.

After we checked in, DS1 wanted to know where DS2 was. Forget sleep, he wants his brother! That was at 1 pm. Now it is 5pm and I'm the only one awake. That said, good night!
