Well, I think I'm ready.I made my list and checked it twice.
I even took all my luggage out front in our driveway this afternoon and practiced carrying it while pushing a stroller (insert "Rocky"-esque montage here).
I think I've done what I can to make my inter-continental travel with my two little ones (and no husband!!) as smooth as possible.
And now (in about 8 hours) I will go make my attempt to get on the space available flight to Seattle. The thing about traveling "space A," there are no guarantees, so all my preparation may have been for naught - I'll find out soon. I called the terminal tonight and they told me there are 109 available seats for the flight, but when I checked last week there were only 48, so something seems really inconsistent/fishy about those numbers. In any case, I hope I get on the flight and that no one wants to kill me (and I don't want to kill myself) by the time it's over. But whatever happens, I now know I can transport two kids, two car seats, one BIG stroller, one BIG suitcase and three carry-on bags across our driveway by myself. That's something, right?
If I don't post again in about 12 hours, that probably means I made it on...and I'll write again from the states. Woohoo!!
