Brazil Trip 2011

So we aren't even going to address the fact that there hasn't been a blog entry for months on end. We are simply going to gloss over the last the couple months of radio silence and jump right in! I will be doing a few entries of our amazing trip home to Brazil that we did for Christmas because we just couldn't leave that undocumented, but I will warn you that it will be mostly pictures and not much captioning.....because frankly, I'm just not in the mood :)
So let's get started, shall we?

This is what our front entry looked like the day that we left. Eight ginormous suit cases (each weighing just under 70 lbs), four carry ons, two lap top bags, two purses, three ridiculously bright neck pillows and one little blue back pack.....

Now I just have to add a little caveat here that 85% of this stuff was not ours...they were things that we were bringing in for other people (including a large flat screen TV that I still can't believe made it down to Brazil unscathed....) So before you go judging how pack-ratty you think we are...it wasn't as bad as it looks :)


After one of the easiest check-ins that Bill and I have ever done together at the airport, we settled in for a stop in Houston and then the 9 hr. overnight flight to Sao Paulo. Thankfully we were equipped with lots of electronic entertainment, books, coloring stuff and card games....

Oh! And I forgot to mention that our roommate Mary went on the trip with us too!!! We were so excited to share Brazil with her and all the fun things that come with it!!!
