Okay, yah! Now we are getting to the good stuff! Been stockpiling images of our actual trip! So excited to share these with you!!! So our sweet nanny Happy dropped us off at CHS, we gave her a big hug and we were off on our new adventure. I think the moment I got to CHS airport, I felt great, like this is finally happening after all of this planning and packing and cleaning and arranging. No looking back now. We had a 4pm flight to Miami which was a breeze. I had the backpacks packed full of goodies which kept both of the kids occupied the entire ride. I don't think I used any iPads that entire flight, which always makes me feel like a triumphant Mommy. When we arrived in Miami, we had dinner next to our terminal and took turns walking around the airport while the other (parent) ate dinner...this is usually how we roll, my kids don't sit still, nor do they eat a lot of food (we are working on it Mom). After dinner, I changed them into their jammies and Steph went to get some milk for their water bottles. I wanted to make sure they were both super comfy. I think I also told them both 100 times that it was night time on the plane and that we would be sleeping on there. Steph took Graham and I took Lulu. We were actually in different rows, which kind of worked out great for us so the kids didn't disturb each other. Graham had a great flight and slept the whole way, Lulu was an absolute terror and tossed and turned and I felt just horrible for her. We watched the Good Dino on repeat on the back of the plane seat and that helped a little bit but I had a lot of difficulty comforting her. Of course she fell asleep around 1 hour before we were to land. Luckily we were next to very sweet people who didn't mind her crying or unfortunately for most of the flight, kicking them.

I love this pic of my little traveler, Lulu. I can't wait to show this to her when she is grown up, she is such an independent spirit.

Mr. Cool. Couldn't go to Argentina without our Babiators!

This in the Buenos Aires airport EZE, after we had gotten through Customs. The Customs people were SO NICE to us. Lucie was out of control and they moved us to the front of the line, I was so appreciative! We had a car waiting for us that we had arranged through a friend of a friend. I can't even explain the feeling of finally getting somewhere you've imagined and dreamed of in your head for so long. I call it travelers high, where you have an extra pep in your step and you are like "heck yes, we made it to South America"!!! I felt this way as soon as we got to the airport and could not wait to hit the ground running!

Lulu seemed pretty happy too, even after her horrible overnight.

Graham was taking it all in - I put this pic in here just to show you how much we brought....it was pretty easy to move around on one cart.

The kids loved the taxi (no carseats!)...please overlook Lulu's gigantic diaper. Up next...scenes from our first 2 weeks in Buenos Aires!!!!
