Tuesday Tom will drive me and the kids to the airport to start our mad adventure. The three of us will fly Sydney to LAX. 13.5 hours by myself with the kidlings. Then we get to queue for immigration, pick up luggage and go through customs. Then it is on to a shuttle bus or taxi to our hotel. 24 hours after we land we will be back in the air again on our way from LAX to Fargo where Mom picks us up.

I remember flying with Sofia at Alex’s age. Prepare for the worst and if anything is better I will be pleasantly surprised. I always had a car seat with Sofia and I will not with Alex. I do have a harness thingy for his seat, let’s hope it fits the seat!

Sofia is very excited to be seeing grandma, cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. And I am too. I also can’t wait to do some shopping!
