Airport Day

To say it was hard to sleep the night before Airport Day (I've dubbed it that because I am not really sure what day technically would be moving day) is an understatement.  I woke up SO TIRED but so so so excited that we were finally at this point.  I don't think I can really describe the emotions... Scared, excited, nervous, happy, anxious. 
 We spent the last night at Josh's parents house.  Their poor front room was filled with our carry-on stuff as we tried to stuff everything in different suitcases.   Josh's parent were great help and they made us a yummy breakfast that included bacon and sausage!  We had to get our last fill of pork because it isbn't allowed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  My parents had all of the boxes and luggage that we were checking on the plane so they met us at Josh's parents house and then we all headed to Panda Express for our last American lunch. :)  
 We looked pretty funny trying to get everything where it needed to go.  Luckily it was a pretty hectic time and I didn't have a chance to think much...  The helped keep my emotions in check.
 Here it all is...  We had 8 dish barrel boxes and 4 big suitcases and a bike box that we needed to check in.  Luckily they all were under the weight limit of 70 pounds and the bike only cost $100 extra.
 This photo of our parents makes me smile.  We were all getting checked in and they were all standing with the same pose and looking a little nervous.  It was SO SO SO much help having them at the airport.  They stayed with us all the way to security.

 Once we made it through security we headed for the first class lounge.  We also looked kinda funny in there.  Not too many families of 6 were hanging out.  We all took advantage of the unlimited drinks and snacks.
Flying first class is very likely something that will never happen for us again so we soaked it up and enjoyed every minute.
