great traveller (terrible hotel guest)
Nora took her first and second airplane rides yesterday and did a mostly fantastic job. Home airport to Dallas was an absolute dream: she ate during takeoff, slept through the entire trip, and woke up just in time to eat during landing. Dallas to Ontario, CA was a little harder since she didn’t sleep much at all, but she had a great deal of fun playing “slap the tray table” and “eat the book”. Which, I’ll admit, is exactly what I normally do at the end of a long flight.
Nora topped off her successful day of traveling by partying like a rock star all night long. If rock stars poop themselves, spit up, scream ceaselessly, refuse to sleep, and make their handlers worry that the neighbors are going to call the cops at any moment. I’m pretty sure this is how the Rolling Stones do it, but let’s hope tonight’s a little less rock ‘n roll …

glad the plane flights went well :) Sorry to hear the hotel has been nightmare-ish, but probably the neighbors can’t really hear - plus, just like plane flights, you’ll never have to see them again! ;)
Z slept about 4 hours on a 6.5 hour flight, and then was asleep before takeoff and woke after landing on the hour-ish flight from heathrow to glasgow. she was very hard to put down at 7:30 pm, surprising since she only slept 5.5 hours out of 24 hours… she also didn’t want to wake a 8am this morning, though she napped well this afternoon. Now she and Wes are ostensibly going to sleep…
Here’s to better hotel nights :)

This hotel neighbor never heard a sound…really! It was so great to see Nora in person. It was also great to see her Mom and Dad!
