Well, we are in country! It has been quite a ride so far, with a little bit to go until we are in our new home. We will continue to update you all with e-mail and blog posts when we can. Until then, though, we wanted to share a bit with you about our travels so far. We hope you enjoy!
We left Virginia on Sunday, October 12. Below is a picture with us and all of our bags. We didn't do too bad. We had 9 checked bags (including a pack-n-play and a guitar w/case) and 3 carry-on bags. So we looked pretty American with all of our luggage, but not as American as other Americans usually do. LOL! At least, Benjamin seemed to think so:
We flew out from Washington D.C. and, boy, were we ready to go!
The below pic is us on our way to Frankfurt, Germany. Benjamin was a great inernational traveler! He loved everything about the plane and the people on it...so much that he hardly slept! The total flight time was about 8 hours.
We hit the wall of fatigue at the Frankfurt International Airport. Pretty much the entire time was spent taking turns between napping and walking Benjamin around in the stroller. This went on for about 4-5 hours. Frankfurt was a nice halfway point, but kind of rough on the Fergusons. See if you can spot the sleepiness on Benjamin's face.
The next flight was to Dubai and lasted for about 6 hours. This time, Benjamin went right to sleep and had a pretty uneventful rest of the flight. Julie and I weren't too upset. After it was all said and done, we were in Dubai by 12:15 AM on October 14, and in bed by 3 AM. Not a bad couple days of travel!
Soon, we will post about our stay in Dubai and beyond. So, stay tuned...
