Day 1 is a blur now. It was a blur then. I've never spent 7 hours of my day in an airplane. The boys had never spent a second of theirs in one. Between time changes and layovers the day seemed to go on forever. But I have to admit, it didn't seem nearly as long as I thought it would.
I expected more anxieties out of the boys dealing with their first flight. I expected them to fall to pieces once or twice dealing with an unusually long day. Neither happened though. They were champs the whole day. I hope day 1 set the tone for the next two weeks.
