We had some issues at LAX with checkin. They couldn't find our 6th luggage and asked us to check with ANA when we got to Narita. Thankfully, they had our luggage when we checked in Japan.
The 12 hour flight was long. Akemi was very restless but was pretty well behaved for the most part. I'm glad I brought extra change of clothes because midway, she threw up. She was chasing another toddler around the plane and guess she lost her snack. Yuck.
Ayumi was good, only because we held her the entire time!!! Now, we're paying for it because all she wants is to be held.
Akemi had some trouble sleeping but we got her to sleep a few hours on the flight. At one point, she fell off the seat. Oops! We were both preoccupied with Ayumi and didn't see Akemi roll off.
We had the entire row to ourselves which was nice. I don't know how we would of done it with just 3 seats. Akemi is just too tall!!!
In Narita, the kids and I hung out at the ANA lounge while Jonathan went to sort out the luggage issue. ANA lounge is pretty sleek! They have wifi, free BEER, and UDON!!!! Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to have beer, but at least Akemi had some udon.
After two carts of six luggages, 3 carry ons, 2 kids, and a stroller in 2 vans (1 van just to hold our luggage, 1 van to hold us), we finally got to the apartment at 11pm Thursday. We were exhausted, the kids were super GRUMPY...we 'tried' to sleep in the king bed with the kids. By 3am, Akemi was wide-AWAKE and Ayumi was still fussy, we decided to get up and make some dumplings.
It's 1pm and Akemi is finally taking her nap. Ayumi is still screaming to be picked up in her crib. Jonathan is snoring on the couch and I'm glad that this trip is over!!! I don't think I'll travel again with the kids.
