We decided our Sunday afternoon that we will be making a short trip back to America to see my grandma. We talked about it and then started looking for flights and by the evening we had purchased our tickets. We had tried to leave our early Tuesday morning but when we went to buy the tickets the site we were on wouldn't let you purchase tickets less than 3 days in advance. So we are now leaving Wednesday morning our time. So yesterday I was scrambling trying to pack us up and get the house ready for us being gone. We decided to have Christmas early. So we read our story and opened our stockings. That took longer than expected, then we ate dinner, and then we spent the rest of the night opening our presents. So we are having a different Christmas for sure. We'll be flying for 24 hours plus to get to the States of Christmas Eve. We may be in for major culture shock with coming home during the holidays. Oh well! I am curious how Ev is going to respond to America. Actually I am hoping she does well on our long 14 hour flight. Hopefully the plane won't be very full so she won't bother people. A friend of mine offered her home for us to stay in and some people are looking for car seats. Here they don't use them. I am actually use to this so it is going to be weird for all 4 of us to strap both kids in seats. Actually I guess we will have to wear seat belts too. I am hoping Ev thinks it is cool and won't scream the whole time we are in the car.
The middle of next month was the start of our traveling until the end of February... so I guess we are just getting an early start on it. We will fly to America on Christmas Eve and stay there until January 6th. We'll return home until we leave again for Thailand on January 14th. We will be in 5 different cities until the middle of February where we will visit some friends in another city on our way back home. So busy times and lots of airports, planes, buses, subways, and all kinds of transportation. I know by the end of our travels we will be wanting our beds and home.
