Fort Lauderdale airport ... 12.46am!
…Courtesy of the bird that flew into the plane and caused our 8 hour delay! So we wait.
Interestingly enough, a diet of airport food (burgers and fries), some new cuddly penguins, and rhythmic snoring from the man in the row next to us, has drifted the kids off into a peaceful sleep. Once again, we are extremely thankful that our children don’t seem to suffer from the same travel induced sleep deprivation that Shaun and I suffer from. Unfortunately, hard leather chairs with steal arms don’t elicit many zzz’s from us. Instead, we find ourselves enjoying the relative calm that 2 sleeping children provides, and are trying to sneak in a few pages of our books.
Midnight reflection does offer a nice opportunity to snack on a bag of Fini candies without any interference from the kids, and a moment to sit back and appreciate where we are, not something our 2 months of busy travel has afforded. A friend reminded me the other day to enjoy the trip while we are on it, not just in hindsight. Very wise words! So I will sit here and try and enjoy my 8 hour delay in the airport, even if the only thing I gain from it is some extra reading time.
