The boys did as best as can be hoped for on the flights. We only had 2 flights which is great as navigating airports with carry-ons and half-sleeping kids is more annoying than the long flights themselves.
The first flight was ok. Isaac slept for most of it and Isaiah would have slept more had the cabin crew not kept the lights on and talked REALLY LOUDLY for about 4-5 hours of the 8 hour flight.
The second flight was better as the
Benadryl was administered flight crew gave out meals in a timely fashion, with little ruckus and with only ambient lighting (if you want more light at your seat, that's what the button is for...) Both boys fell asleep during take-off and slept for about 6-7 hours. Glorious! We also had 4 seats together in the center section. That helped loads.
When we finally got to our beds around 10:45pm local time, the boys went down with little fuss and slept all night... Isaac even slept in til about 8, which borders on miraculous for our 6am kid.

yay! you're there! can't wait to hear more.
Glad everybody slept good. I love those overnight flights. Can't wait to here more as you all get settled in.
Hooray for boys who sleep well, for overnight flights, center section seats and for benadryl. ;) Though I'm surprised that they let Isaiah sleep in the floor. Our team leader tried that with their daughter when she was about the same age and the flight attendants wouldn't let her sleep there. Needless to say, the parents were not very happy with said flight attendants.
Wow I'm gonna need any and all tips you have for traveling!
