Dulles was easier than usual. Our gate got switched and Abie freaked out as usual after clearing security with Tali and me but before Candace was clear. He also freaked on the plane whwn he and Tali went on first. Tali was sitting in first class and staring out snow when I came on the plane.
Abie sat next to me. He kept wanting to get to my auntie Anne's frozen drink. He didn't want to watch his kindle at first but eventually he did. He fell asleep for a few minutes on the drive to the airport, but that's it. Tali didn't nap at all. Abie ripped up the airline's magazine.
The only trouble we had was getting off the plane. Everything was slow. Virtually the entire flight was in the gate's tunnel waiting for theor checked bag. The wheelchair came first but I couldn't bring it past everyone waiting for their bag to the plane. The stroller came last. Then Candace realized United broke the wheelchair. The battery was hanging out in the front. It was operable, but stabbed Candace in the back if the leg as she drove it.
We cleared customs in the diplomat line. I couldn't figure out the ticket machine for the 747 bus downtown, but Candace did. The bus was clearly marked and we got on. We were told our stop was the fourth stop, but it turned out to be th third because the busbonly stopped when a request was made.
Candace surprisingly led us right to the hotel. We got to our room and those poor overtired babies went crazy. Silly crazy. The skipped around the room naked screaming. Tali fell off the table and got a slightly bloody nose. They soon went to sleep.
