For those of you who don’t know, we are in Belize. You may even know that we missed our plane Saturday morning, in case my poem/rhyme didn’t make sense. Here’s a photo journal if we have the photos.
We were suppose to catch the 7am connecting flight to Dallas Saturday morning. However due to poor planning, we barely missed the flight. The next flight to Belize is the red-eye flight connecting in Miami. We were always curious to see how our kids would handle the red-eye flight. Looks like we get to find out.
The kids had fun at night at the airport. We had to keep them up for the 9:25pm red-eye flight. They were barely holding up. When we get on the plane, Caris falls asleep in my arms rather quickly. It is hard to hold her the whole time for almost five hours. Caleb, however, does not do so well. The T.V. is on the whole time during the flight, and Caleb cannot peel his eyes off the television. He’s captivated by it. He only sleeps for 2 hours. And the one rule we have with Caleb that we forgot about… don’t mess with his sleep.
We have a five hour layover in Miami, so we’re hoping Caleb and Caris would just sleep at the airport. Caris does alright, although it is difficult for her to go and stay asleep. Caleb, again, has trouble. It doesn’t help that there are birds flying INSIDE the airport. But he just can’t sleep well outside his dark room.
<— See the birds?
Both kids are awake on the Miami to Belize flight. It’s morning time for them even though they only got a fraction of the sleep they normally get. And they’re hungry and it’s breakfast time. And it’s only a 2 hour flight. No point trying 2 hours to get Caleb to sleep for 5 minutes. Caris still tries to find time to get some sleep whenever she can though.
The flight to Belize is not the final destination though. Oh no. We still have to fly to Ambergris Caye. Big planes are not needed. In fact big planes won’t fit on that airport.
I know some might be scared of these little airplanes. But they are fun and exhilarating. The trip doesn’t end there though. A boat ride to the resort, and we should finally get there.
Now it’s time to lounge around. It’s been a long trip to get here.
And it’s hot!
Very hot!
But we’re here. And sometimes we just need to chill and zone out. Guess what we’re doing here.
