The process of packing is painful. First what we think we will need gets taken out the cupboards. Then there is elimination of most of it and hey presto 2 packed bags. Erin tried to convince me that giraffe needed to come too!
At Doha International Airport we were given better seats in row 10 and check-in was quick and painless. We headed over to the play area which was right by our gate and the cherubs ran around enough to be happy to get on the plane and just sit.
On the way to the plane Erin was happy to squash between an Indian expat and Owen and they watched planes take off while we cruised along to our plane.
Owen was entertained from take off in Doha to touch in London. He watched Peter Pan and an aliens animation and then played the new games on his Leap Pad. Erin needed a bit more entertainment with stickers, books, food, walks and swapping seats with me. The flight was uneventful and we touched down in London early. Our bags were on the belt when we got there and it was effortless to travel with the cherubs on my own. We were very happy to see Lynese on the other side of the exit doors and both cherubs left me and ran off to give her big hugs.
Our trip in the taxi seemed to take forever. Owen kept asking how many minutes until we get home and he loved sitting next to the Granny and getting feed treats and reading books. Erin had a sleep and we got home about 6.30pm. It was after 8pm when they went to bed. Lynese and I watched Roger get knocked out of Wimbledon and then we retired to bed.
