Today is the day! We left Orlando International Airport on what would be the first of 5 airplane rides this trip. We departed at 1:30 pm via Bahamasair and arrived in Nassua at 2:45 pm. The boys did well on their first plane ride. It was a bit turbulent, but nonetheless we made it! We quickly went to the domestic portion of the airport to await our second {much smaller airplane ride. We boarded the plane by walking across the tarmac. We were all seated in the same row, providing us a great view of the propellers! Yikes. We departed Nassua at 4:00 pm and arrived in Treasure Cay (pronounced Key) at 4:30 pm. We gathered a few more passengers and departed for Marsh Harbor (a quick ten minute flight). We arrived in Marsh Harbor around 5:30 pm. From the airplane windows, we saw Mom and David anxiously waiting for us to get off the plane! It was awesome having the kids run up to Mom-Mom and Grandpop! After a few hugs and tears of joy, we caught a taxi to the dock. The ten minute journey in the taxi (they drive on the other side of the road) was exciting to say the least. As a driver in the US, my insticts played tricks on me and made me wear quite a spot on my make believe brake pedal (or so I thought)! We arrived at Union Dock in Marsh Harbor where we boarded our dinghy. The boys went first; next was Steve and I with the rest of luggage. Speaking of luggage, we didn't check any bags. We each only traveled with one carry-on, making our airport shuffling much less chaotic.
