After getting on the plane at 2 am, we had a nine hour layover in Fort Lauderdale. So, I layed a sheet down on the floor and the kids slept for several hours. Okay, I admit, I layed right down with them. Susana actually got a pretty good night's rest. She fell asleep at about 10:30 pm on the way to the airport. She was somewhat awake at takeoff because she had to sit up and put her seatbelt on. Other than that, Tomas and I took turn carrying her to show her face to passport checker people (6 times before getting on the plane in Honduras) through security in Honduras (they let me carry her through, we managed to get her shoes off, she set off the metal detector and had to be patted down - it was the clasps on her overalls- she never woke up). Then we had to go through customs when we arrived in Fort Laudersdale and I layed her down on an unused inspection table (with Adilia standing next to her) so we could collect all our luggage. Overall, this return travel was what I was most concerned about. It could have been a total nightmare being stuck in an airport for 9 hours with four tired kids, but we had fun. PTL!
