So you really don't want the play-by-play of the first 3 days of our trip. But just so you understand some of the chaos let me give you a few snippets:
1 day airline strike that coincided exactly with our departure date.
Sleeping at Taylor's brother's house in NY without a crib for Isaac so we spent the night listening to him bang his head into things under the bed we were sleeping on.
6 1/2 hour flight with a 3 year old and a 1 year old in lap.
4 hour layover from 1am-5am our time.
Standing for 20 minutes on a shuttle bus waiting for a driver who then drove us literally 20 feet to our plane.
Boarding that plane for a 30 minute flight only to be told that there were mechanical difficulties that would require 2 hours to fix (our kids had slept 1 hour total by this time over the past 18 hours- noon to 6am DC time).
Deplaning, waiting 20 minutes for another driver to drive us 20 feet only to be told that they'd magically fixed the problem and we could reboard.
And then 8 more hours of trying to keep ourselves and our kids from passing out so that we'd be able to sleep through the night and be on Portugal time.
Things started looking up from there. Ethan slept the whole night and Isaac slept as long as someone was with him which I was happy to oblige.
