Nearly there After almost a day of travelling everyone is almost over it. Thomas had a sleep to start of the flight but then just would not settle. Emily some halfway through and then devoured her Macaroni and cheese. Matthew slept even longer. Ben decided to go the other way and ate first and then went to sleep. He was obviously toured as he ended … Continue reading Nearly there

The final leg The boys spent most of the time in the lounge playing foos ball. Emily found a copy of “Going on a Bear hint” which she made me read over and over again. She noticed that some of the pages had pen marks on it and immediately said “Look Matthew had drawn all over the book” and she wouldn’t be convinced otherwise. Getting … Continue reading The final leg 

Clear Sky, 23°C Dohs Disembarking was a breeze and especially going through security. We didn’t even need to take Thomas out of his pram. The kids are starting to lose it.

Getting to the lounge was very easy, just the lift up from … Continue reading In Doha

Powered by … Continue reading Entertainment PALLAVA Again

Post take-off all the kids immediately feel asleep. … Continue reading The second leg

Security was a pain to and if … Continue reading Drama continues
