We made it! We're all together as a family again!

The boys and I made it here safe and sound. It took all day but everything went great! You hear horror stories about people dealing with customs, security and just plain crappiness when they fly. And we've had a few horror stories ourselves. But I think this was the easiest time I've ever had with flying. No problems anywhere. The kids were even great. When we first got to the airport Peter (my little wanderer) wandered off a little, but I just told him how important it was that he stay with me. Then he was great about staying with me the rest of the day. Jimmy had a hard time with his ears during landing, but that was just for a few minutes. I had a file folder full of papers for my boat (because we had a special stamp in our passport giving us a year vista instead of 6 months and lots of other people have had problems with that), I had papers for permission to travel with my children without their father and birth certificates etc. But I never once had to pull that folder out. It was totally awesome!
