and we're off...

Schuyler demands and upgrade.

Charlie makes sure everything is "ship shape".

Watching CNN in the airport - apparently some breaking news caught their attention.

The kids learnin'.

Lunch at the airport is limited, so about six hundred yoghurts fill the bellies of our youngsters.

We were very lucky to be invited back on The Goodtimes.  In fact, this was our first trip aboard the new Goodtimes.  We were excited but wary of Charlie's habit for the past three months of getting up a 5 am.  Papa would get up with him and drive him around (usually to see the eh-panes at the airport) so he wouldn't wake up the whole family.  Unfortunately, this meant that he woke him with a car ride in mind and was now excited to get up at 5 because a journey awaited him.  Papa was not pleased.  The journey to the Bahamas meant that we would be an hour behind now.  The fear of 4am wake ups haunted the journey.  The airplane journey itself (two planes and plenty of airports) was a dream - they were both happy to just play and read and thank god for iPads).
