Our Trip Home

After we left the family reunion on Sunday we started our drive to Reno.  We knew we had a long day in the car 6-7 hours.  We set off and had a great drive.  What a nice Father's Day for Reese to spend in the car - at least he was with us.  We checked into the hotel and got a good nights sleep.  The next morning we woke up and checked our flights.  That is when the trouble started.  Our first flight showed as delayed, then it was cancelled.  They rebooked us for the next morning - not going to work.  So I spent an hour on the phone with the airline. I thought I had it all settled rechecked our flights.  They had me leaving that day, but Reese and Sage leaving the next day from a different city - really not going to work.  More time on the phone and we got it straightened out.  We left later on a different airline and we were routed through Phoenix instead of Dallas.  It also meant that we would get home at 1:03am instead of 9:00pm.  Well we had arranged for a neighbor to pick us up and I called her to let her know we would just take a cab.  We got to the airport got checked in - first flight went smooth.  We only had 20 minutes after our first flight landed until our second one boarded.  Long enough to get some snacks and use the restroom.  We had a long flight ahead of us 3.5 hours.  Sage said she didn't have to go.  We boarded our second flight and we were the last row of the plan right by the two bathrooms in the back - nice for this pregnant nose.  Not long after take off Sage said she had to go to the bathroom.  I am not a fan of public restrooms and I even dislike airplane bathrooms even more.  So I took her and it was the quickest trip to the bathroom on record!   We got back to our seats and she slept for about a half hour.  She woke up said she didn't feel good and climbed into my lap.  She then promptly threw up all over me and her.  I luckily had a change of clothes for her but not me.   She also puked on Reese as well.  Needless to say it was a very long 2.5 hours until we landed.  She puked off and on all flight and we were all so glad when we landed.  We decided to get a rental car instead of a cab.  Reese got the luggage and I got the car.  We met up at the rental car and took off.  I was so glad we had the car instead of a cab.  Sage puked on the way home and I was able to sit with her and catch it in the barf bags I took from the airplane - sound like fun?  We got home and Reese ran to the store for medicine and Gatorade.  It was such a long day of travel and we were all so glad to be home.  Sage was sick for a few more days and we had some long nights.  We will never forget this trip home and I have been told from now on all travel incidences will be referred to as "Well, at least its not as bad as our return from Reno!"
