USA Trip–On our way!

Our trip to America started on April 24th 2012.

Sydney Airport

We took a 6pm (10hour) flight from Sydney to Honolulu Hawaii. It was the first time the boys had been in a plane. They did great at the airport, and even better on the plane.

We were given a dinner, then they went to sleep. The boys slept about 4-5hours, had some breakfast at we landed in Hawaii. Tracie organised us a limo to our hotel.

We spent 36 hours in Waikiki. We  got some sleep, took a few walks, went to the beach for a swim and left the following evening.

It was a nice stopover, however…. during the night, our poor Ethan got sick Sad smile

Ethan vomited about 6 times in the middle of the night. He was ok the next day, and even ate normally all day….. but then started vomiting again before we got on the plane. He vomited on and off, plus had some diarrhoea for the next 5 days. He got quite dehydrated on the plane, and we think he may have fainted. It was not a pleasant flight as we flew from Hawaii to New Jersey (via Seattle). The trip took about 12 hours, and Tracie and Sal felt sick, had stomach cramps, temperatures and nausea. Luckily that’s all we got, but we both felt like we were about to start vomiting any minute. It’s an experience I hope we never have to repeat. Ben was unaffected.
