It is 1 week until we leave for America for 2 months.  We have a gorgeous friend who will be housesitting so we can leave a lot less stressed than might otherwise be the case.  We will be hitting the east coast from Florida, up to Washington and New York, then over to hawaii for a month over Christmas, all with 3 kids in tow!!  We are uber excited but also very nervous about being in the air for 20 hours with a 18 month old on our lap.  We know he will cry a lot, we know we will cry a lot (at least I will do mine i the privacy of the airplane bathroom!!).  He is so gorgeous and he has no idea what is coming his routine which is set in stone of sleeping from 5.30pm until 7am ,with a 2 hour nap thrown in at 11.30am is about to be uprooted in a big way.  It will involve long car rides, late nights and unfamiliar cots, I hope he manages ok.  But on the plus side we will be saying Mele Kalikimaka this year (Merry Christmas - from Hawaii) xoxo
