Ah… Almost there October 21, 2005
Posted by spacemom in : Current Affairs , trackbackMy poster is finished. My packing, almost done. We have a short 
Sukkot
celebration tonight.
The girls have been fruitcakes. I call Soleil Fruitcake and Luna is
Fruitcake with Rum and Nuts. Last night, Soleil went to sleep at 10:30
for the SECOND night in a row. Luna was up between 2-5am.
News flash for tired parents. PBS Sprout is available on some cable
carriers. It is a BAD IDEA to have Barney on at 4:45am. An almost
asleep child suddenly jumps up and starts dancing to Barney while
Mommy wants to beat her own head in with a plastic frying pan that
sits on the toy kitchen.
Dr. Jay checked us in for our flight tomorrow on-line. Turns out we
have to BUY OUR FOOD on the plane! WTF? BUY YOUR OWN FOOD on a 5 hour
flight followed with BUY YOUR OWN FOOD on a 7 hour flight. Shoot
me. Shoot me now. We are quickly revising our carry-on stuff to
include more food for the girls. This just sucks.
We will be on-line in Hawaii and I will try to blog when I feel like
it. The weather looks eh, 87 and rainy? Well, as far as I care, we can
still swim at 87 and rainy!
Tonight’s goals:
1) get the girls to bed at a REASONABLE time
2) get toiletries packed
3) get the backpacks for carry ons together
4) get EVERYTHING ready for the taxi at 6:15am!
Wish me luck! We should be in Kona at 9pm EDT.

Hey Nance, great blog. You inspired me to start my own. Wanted to wish you a good trip to Hawaii. Enjoy yourselves!
I recommend those “Lil Milk” juice boxes of whole milk for the plane, since you don’t have to keep them cold…we opened them and poured them into a bottle, which kept the kiddo quiet for a precious 5 minutes.
Have a great trip!
Have a great time! Sure you don’t need someone to carry your bags for ya?
