We completed the first plane ride of our journey. We flew from Chicago to Doha Qatar. Here we are before taking our first flight, you that is our complete language for the next 10-months. My parents drove us to O’Hare for our first flight.
The first flight was just over a twelve-hours, originally, we thought it was 16, so 12 was nice. We are now just finishing cleaning up, resting, and booking our Eurail Train tickets on our 8-hour layover in Doha, before heading on to South Africa. We flew Qatar Air which provided a free hotel because of the layover being greater than 8-hours.
Yup our first hotel of our trip was on floor 13!
Both girls did great on the flight. The loved the care package they received in their seat on the plane. They both wanted to use the little toothbrush and tooth paste! There was not one complaint for the entire twelve-hours, which shocked me a bit. They used the entertainment systems most of the time, which had a great selection for kids, Brooklyn watched Baby Boss twice! The flight provided more food than they could eat. They both managed to get comfortable and sleep for several hours. They were both a bit disappointed the flight was over.
Well, I need to finish getting ready for out next flight leg to Cape Town, South Africa!
