Five kids. Two parents. 104 pounds of luggage. Six carry-ons. One and a half hour drive.
Two hour flight. 17 rows separating us.
Two hours getting out of the airport, to the rental car place and in the van.
Eight passenger van. One hour drive. One puke in a baggie. One poo on the side of the road.
Four cousins, one sister, a brother-in-law. One bloody nose. One superb meal. Three and a half hours past bedtime. Bajillions of giggles. A few hours of face to face conversation.
Worth it.
Worth it.
