We said that we would not do it again. We would never take a red-eye with our 7 kids. Guess what? I just booked it. Yup, the JetBlue flight from Boston to Portland, OR and the return as a red-eye. The price was so right, we had vouchers due to a glitch from last year, we could use frequent flyer miles, AND there are personal babysitters, I mean, video screens on every seat back!
How could we pass it up? How could I forget how miserable it was to have a 7Am, 2 hour lay-over in JFK after flying all night? How could I forget holding a plastic "throw-up" bag from the gift shop for our son who was so tired and probably dehydrated that he could barely sit up? How could I forget the whining, the sprawled kids on the airport chairs and the 3 days it took to recover (5 for me)? How could I?
Well, the mind does crazy things. And they are a year older and can handle it better, right? And it can't be as bad this year, right? AND we want to go so badly. And..... time to start packing, YIPPEEEE!
