Again!

So, as the third and final flight of our 25 hour journey touched down in Kuwait, Adele was heard to exclaim:

"Again! Fly Again!"

After hearing of stranded travelers and stuck airplanes in New York and London for the past few days, we were ready for anything and prepared for the worst.

If you can believe it, all flights were on time, counter staff was accomodating, and the flight attendants incredibly helpful. They even arranged for us to have an empty seat adjacent to Adele and I since though she's still young enough to fly as a "lap baby", she's not really a "lap baby" anymore as you can see in the quiet and peaceful pictures.

Not surprisingly, Adele was a joy to travel with. Excited, eager and ready for anything. There's something to be said for keeping well-fed, well-hydrated and well-rested.

During our 6 hour layover in NYC, our friend Anna B. came to wait with us and what would have been a dull chore was transformed into a wonderful reunion (me) / happy first meeting (Adele).

Well, I think it's time to wake her from her mid-morning (5-7 pm) nap. Hugs and Happy New Year to you all!

  1. Hey Goils...so glad that your flights were on time & that Adele had an easy time of it. Did you have her chewing gum to pop her ears? Oye, what a mess that could have been. Cant wait to hear of your adventures. Take LOTS of pictures. Thanks for the beautiful earings. Got 'em on Friday. Hugs to Adele. min

  2. Hi Min! You know, the ear popping wasn't much of a problem at all - yet another thing that breast-feeding is good for! Glad you got the package.
    Hugs from Adele!

    PS When Bob arrives with the camera I forgot, more and better pics will ensue (argh!)
