The Long Trip Home


Anna acted like she always eats her meals in business class. Such a little lady!


Anna enjoyed hanging out in the bassinet on the trip home, but did not want to sleep in it.

We were ready about an hour before our van driver arrived so Craig & Anita ran out for pastries while Anna & I played in the apartment. We were able to wait for our plane in the first class lounge since we had first class seats on the way home. This was great because our flight was delayed two hours and I know our wait was much more comfortable than it would have been if we were out with the "heathens" in the main terminal.

Anna fell asleep (in my arms) shortly before we took off and slept for about 1.5 hours. Then fell asleep again for two hours at 9:45 PM Paris time. From 6:45-9:45 she was restful but not sleeping. She got several compliments this time on her traveling. She waited patiently while we got our bags and went through customs, rode on the van to get our car, and then even stayed awake and was chatty pleasant all the way home. [She went to bed easily although I heard her a few times in the night (not for more than one minute each time) and she did wake at 5 AM although I was able to convince her to sleep in until 7:15 or so on Tuesday morning.]

I am so impressed with how well Anna did on this trip, it just amazes me the more I think about it. She was such a good traveler--the kind of kid-traveler you would wish for but would never in your wildest dreams expect to see! Of course this gets me itching to take more trips so we'll see if we can tag along on any more of Craig's business trips and/or plan another vacation for the three of us sometime soon!
