when yer flying flying flying in a plane

as a general rule, the kids were very, very good during the trip...
i almost thought that with our hands full of kids and luggage i wouldn't be able to take any pictures...but...i thought wrong, and was able to get a few.

this is the first leg...
look at aileen, totally chilling with her bottle. this was a nice, comfortable and spacious start, with the plane less than half full.
and that's the little piggy girl, stuffing her stomach before paying her debts. she refused to be fed, and insisted on feeding herself. trippy trip.
the row in front of ours was empty, so i was able to put the baby to sleep, and daddy could fill out those immigration papers, while dava and aileen took up all the space they needed...
and this was a rollercoaster-like train ride in the malaysian airport, from one terminal to the next. huge airport...the train ride was probably the equivalent of magallanes to ayala.
thankfully, it was the baby's normal scheduled time for sleeping...and thankfully she kept to it...while dava and aileen ran around the airport like chickens with their heads cut off and no idea what the meaning of tiredness was.
this was a darling old lady who found great entertainment in humoring dava with her latest "i went to a chinese restaurant" dig. i took a video, but i don't know if i should upload it...we no longer have asian internet...
"look, uncle jim...a plane!"
konked out on the final flight...taking up all our seating space...
we didn't quite have the same luck as the first flight. this time the plane was going to johanesburg, cape town, and then buenos aires...so, there wasn't an empty seat.
samantha having some quality time with daddy, and giving us her last smile before coming to the end of all her goodness in the last hour of the flight.

"since you can't smoke...we'll just sell cigarettes to you...just to test you..."
