We survived our first flight.
After making it through airport security in Toronto, D looked at her dad and asked "Where is the swimming pool?" (apparently she thought we in South Africa already) She thought the take off was "super exciting" and enjoyed the rest of the plane ride until she was way overtired.
D waited until 11:30pm for supper and then proceeded to fall apart and not eat a bite. She had a good cry and fell asleep quickly on her mom's lap and didn't make a peep until landing. After figuring out that the most sleep any of us had gotten was maybe 3 hours(and that was D) we decided to lay low at the London airport for the day. We all managed to have a little nap(or 2), some decent food and almost feel ready for our longest leg of this plane marathon which will be 11 hours to Johannesburg tonight.
For those of you hoping for some skype or facetime I could not get it to operate at the airport so will have to try again some other time.
Our upcoming itinerary looks as follows
Thursday-arrive in Durban
Friday-head to Matatiele to meet Z
Saturday-visit with Z
Sunday-Z comes to guest house with us
Monday-court and return to Durban as a family of 4
Not sure when I will have a good enough connection to post again but will try!!

ReplyDeleteHave an amazing day tomorrow - meeting Z for the first time! Been thinking and praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteWe've been talking about some of the activities that you might do while you're gone. If you get D's hair done can you send us a "top profile" picture of it? Praying you had a great visit with your daughter Z! Blessings to the 6 of you as you travel around South Africa!
