A Long Flight

Fuzzy Elle had a fun trip to Okinawa.  She started the day very early in the morning after staying up all night.  Grandma had an adventure trying to find an open entrance to the flightline.  Eventually she found a way in and was able to drop Sleepy Elle and Daddy off at work.

The driver agreed to let Sleepy Elle drive for a little while!

By 4 in the morning the bus dropped her off at March Air Force Base to wait in the terminal.  It was kind of cold and there was no food, but Fuzzy Elle and Daddy sat around and talked to friends.  Daddy even watched a movie.

By 11, Sleepy Elle and Daddy were ready to board the plane.  They got a seat in business class, so Fuzzy Elle had a lot of room to spread out and sleep.  She also had a great view out the window.  She enjoyed watching the scenery change from desert Riverside to wintery Alaska.  Fuzzy Elle really wants to come back to visit Alaska.  It's beautiful!

                                                             It was desert in Riverside.

                                                       And snowy mountains in Alaska.

                                                                 Waiting in the Airport

After a few hours at the airport in Anchorage, Alaska, Fuzzy Elle and Daddy got back on the airplane to continue their flight to Okinawa.  It was late and there wasn't anything to see over the ocean, so they both slept a lot.  The plane passed right over Tokyo, Hiroshima and Iwakuni!

Sleepy Elle and Daddy finally got to Okinawa at about midnight.  They waited for their bags and took a bus to their room on base.  They got to their room at about 2 in the morning.  33 hours and they were ready to sleep!  We'll give you another update soon!
