Leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again:)
We have made it to JFK after a long day...and about 14 more hours to go. The boys are being great and our bags are now on the plane. So far everyone has been so nice ( who wouldn't feel bad for a family of four with 12 bags???)
Next time I write hopefully we will be safe and sound on a beach in a desert.....

We're off to Dubai (we hope:)

Well..here is my first attempt at a blog post. I'm hoping to keep in touch with everyone this way and hopefully feel like we are still connected to the US! I'm also hoping the kids can look back on this and have some kind of journal of the journey....

Last night our flight to JFK was canceled due to weather so we are waiting on a delayed flight to LaGuardia and then will be taking our 12 bags on a van to get to JFK for our 11pm flight to Dubai. It's not the ideal situation but who said any of this would be easy?!?!

We are only taking clothes to Dubai. After going through an international move already we decided we did not want to move a bunch of stuff over there, it takes too long! It is quite a change not to have a baby this time (Weston was only 7 months old when we moved to London) so I am very happy not to be carrying a diaper bag, toys, stroller, etc.

Well, looks like we are off to NY. Chip was lucky enough to get an upgrade us to first class for this leg. HOORAY!
