Getting There...

Getting out the door is sometimes the hardest hurdle of a trip. The anticipation. The checking off of mental lists. The last minute snuggles with the animals. The goodbyes. But we did it.

A few bumps along the way:

The island truck was not up for the trip, but we were able to turn back around, swap it for the family wagon, and still made it in time to drag our bags aboard a ferry on the way to the other side of the world. When we arrived at the airport we were informed that our flight was delayed for the third time and spent a few hours waiting in the airport, in the middle of the night, before our first plane was finally deemed ready. However, after we finally boarded we were spoiled with lots of okay airplane food and movie consoles in each seat:

Two meals and three movies later, we landed in Taipei where the kids learned just how fast you can run on those moving walkways when your connecting flight is waiting just for you! Our second flight was quick, but still long enough for one more plane meal, and we were so so glad when we landed in Hanoi.

And then to cap off a day of travel, we were treated to an amazing, non-newtonian ride to our hotel.

 

We made it. Good night from the backside.
