Less than 12 hours to go

Let the mad dash begin! This is one of those moments where a checklist is a nice thing to have, but I normally only put the really important stuff on there. Passport, visas, etc...check. I'm definitely not going to forget about those true necessities. But do I have my sunglasses? Where is that one suitcase? 


Amid the chaos the kids are going through their normal nighttime routine. This mostly involves complaining about not wanting to take a bath or the injustice of not playing on the computer for 5 more minutes. Ah, First World problems. It ranks up there with the inhumanity of suffering through a 14 hour flight in a middle seat. 


Fear not, I was able to get an aisle at the last minute. The people around me won't have to endure my whining.
