WOW! What a Travel Experience

I am in awe of my day, it really could have been quite insane and unbearable, but every step of the way was quite magical.  This is the first time we have travelled with three kids, four of us in our own seats, and baby in my lap.  We got a really good deal and decided to just go with the connecting flight, we knew it would be tough, but for a family of five its tough to find good deals out there. 

We arrived in Atlanta half an hour late, not bad, waiting at a bench, kids found a place to play waiting for rental car

We had way too much carry on luggage, plus car seats, how we managed, it really was a miracle, every step of the way we magically found a push cart, and everyone was so helpful, never judging or annoyed, just helping us along the way.  United Airlines gets FIVE STARS and a THUMBS UP from me.

 

 

We were running late due to traffic and a late start, luckily they didn't have a family security line but put us in to a shorter line, everything went smooth, they saw how much stuff we had and fetched us a cart.  Of course our gate was at the other end of the universe, I went ahead with the kids while my husband pushed all our stuff.  The gate attendant informed me that we had three minutes to board the plane and they were leaving on time.  I was looking out for my husband, luckily he came a minute later, now we had two minutes.  They all worked together to hurry us along, checked the luggage that wouldn't fit, put tags on all the car seats, ran after us to make sure we found our seats, we did leave on time and made it to Chicago with an hour to get to our next flight.

 

Unfortunately the weather there is not friendly, we left an hour late, the plane was small, and it felt like they had the heater on.  We were sweating although it was the telltale Chicago wind when we were boarding the plane.  Thank God everyone was once again so helpful, and we ended up only half an hour late.  It was a very long way to the baggage, but once again a cart appeared just before we went to the baggage claim, and our bags were the first to come out.  Then we were able to take the cart on the train directly to the rental area, it is all so perfectly designed, love Atlanta!

 

My five year old was so helpful, he carried a backpack and pulled a luggage, he sat nicely on the plane, and really enjoyed himself.  My baby and my daughter took turns being super fussy but because everything about the travel went so smooth, it has really been a wonderful travel experience.

 

Excited to enjoy family,
