I was quite worried you guys would think I was taking over my TR with a renovation report!
You might have thought you'd come to the wrong boards.
Thanks for the comments so far!
I'm keen to hear how well they cope with all the flights as I'm concerned my 5 year old is going to struggle.
To be honest, they were super stars, I am amazed how well they coped over our five flights total, I think they were very happy to be on such an adventure and they really enjoyed the movies (they did need propping up to see the screens properly though, which don't tip down very far and appear dark if you are looking at them on the wrong angle - so something to sit on is very handy). They just didn't sleep much which is hard on such a long flight. It was impossible for them to sleep sitting up in their seat when to their body clocks, it wasn't late enough yet... and there wasn't nearly enough room to have them lie down (we were three across, DD4, me, DD5 then aisle. DH just across aisle and up one.)
Well done on remembering so much
. Did the organizers not realise that they could change seating allocations before each flight? That would have been a pain
Thanks for pointing out that morning flights with kids are hard. We figured it might be the case, but now we will really make an effort to get arvo flights do the boys will get at least some sleep. ANZ Skycouches are looking more enticing all the time
The organisers knew, they just refused to, they felt we were being too precious.
And as for Skycouches, we have Kiwi friends who live in CA at the moment and they really recommend them (their children are 7, 4 and 2).
Enjoying the first instalment but I really need you to share a picture of your completed kitchen renovation now
. You had me intrigued, following along with the progress and then nada. Surely you can share a pic
?
You've twisted my arm.
I've updated the original post with a few more pics and some 'before' ones to explain why we did it in the first place.
Great start, that sounds like a great tour that allowed time for a stop off at
Walmart 
. I too would like to see a pic of your completed renovations
Yeah! I think because we filled two buses on our own, we had some flexibility with our tour, and it literally was a combination transfer/tour
Ah...kermie...Did you get a personalised Kermit muppet when you were at FAO Schwartz?
We ran out of time to get to FAO Schawartz! Hence the need to return
ldid you know build a bear has a limited time only build a kermit who is a real puppet? you can buy kermie outfits and everything
(we have a kermit fan in our house too)
No! Do you mean in the Aus stores? I must go looking!
