After a variety of last-minute packing decisions, we left home for the airport! The kids were primed for an excellent night’s sleep: dressed in PJs, travel pillows in hand, and the best intentions.

And they did it!!! Each clocked 4 hours of sleep, a minor miracle made easier by the British Airways reclining seats.

We arrived at our hotel just after 8am, and were able to check in for a nap....well, a nap for the parents. The girls were too excited to sleep, and managed to stay up the whole day!
