The 21st of May was a day that just went on and on and on...
We started the morning with a couple of soccer games. Ryan was the player of the day, but unfortunately had to give his trophy back straight away.
We spent the rest of the day packing and headed to the airport in the late afternoon. Here we are all checked in and ready to fly.
We felt very welcome when we got on the plane with personalised greetings on our in-seat entertainment screens.
There wasn't much sleeping on this 12 hour flight. Alex finally went to sleep around 2:00 am NZ time and Ryan only at 4:00 am. They did not want to miss out on watching movies.
In LA it took us about 2 hours to get off the plane, through customs and to the next terminal.
After that we stood outside in the sun for a few minutes before going to check in for our next flight.
This was only a short 1 hour 15 min flight to Phoenix. Both boys got some window seats.
We got our car - a big black Mercedes GL450 4Matic . Thanks to the Sat Nav the drive to our accommodation wasn't too stressful.
We had a quick shop at Food City for some dinner. We were all a bit sleep deprived by then so just grabbed essentials.
Had dinner and went to bed around 10:00 pm after a 41 hour long day!!
(plus the extra 2 hours still to come)
