Travel Woes

[vulcan2074]

So...my sister in law says that she found a fast way to Kenya. She beat us by 2 hours via Emirates...but she's paying $200 more per adult. It will only take her 22 hours from here while it will take us 24 hours. I think I'd rather keep my $400 for spending money there.

I'm with you. I'd rather have the extra cash to spend on vacation

I hope they serve margaritas on the plane. That will keep me happy. You will be surprised at how well behaved the boys are. I just have to give them "the eye." They are highly aware of the Wrath of Mom.

I hope Ashton is up for it...And I hope you have the patience of a Saint!!! Sounds like your gonna need it !!

Have you given teleportation a thought ?

I do that every night. That's how I get to Ape City!!

We bought our tix but we won't leave for another five months or so. Our two hour layover just got shortened by one hour. So I guess we fly to Atlanta, rush to our next airplane...fly to Dakar, Senegal, refuel for an hour and a half (don't get off the plane though)...and then another 7 hours to Nairobi. So we'll be stuck on one airplane for 17 hours.

Look for a case of Jet Jungles while you are there.

How exciting for you Jessica. I hope you have a wonderful trip. Do you have an African American Dinah Mite or AJ? Actually, I am amazed you would consider anything but an ape, come to think of it...

I'd go with the first option but neither sounds like a bargin.

Depending on where the layover was I'ld tempting to take the long layover.Ilove to travel aand see new things , its surprising what you could take in a short amount of time.Safe flying,where ever you are heading.

[starsky]

none sound too appealing but i would go with option 2 because the ordeal is 4 hours less.

[jessica]

I don't know. I usually get them, but the kids were always too young.

[WannabeMego]

Do you still have to get shots before you go...?

[cjefferys]

Ok, in that case I think option 2 would be best. Good luck and have fun!

[jessica]

Both sound pretty brutal. My answer would depend on where the layover was, if I was taking kids along, and how old they are.

10, 7 and 4. All boys.

I just heard we are going with the second option. I just want to get strapped in a plane and not think. I hate wandering at airports, especially with kids. It's like herding cats, although my boys are pretty well behaved.
