Leaving Tanzania

Today we are in Dallas, Texas. Getting here was a bit of an ordeal. The only way we could bring our dog, Nala, who is an 8 month old, 100 pound, South African Boerboel, with us was to take KLM airlines. To save $1,000 on tickets, Jacob took three of the kids and most of the luggage on Qatar airlines the day before. 

Each of us embarked on our 35+ hour trips which involved customs, 7 total security checks, very little sleep, and 50% total time of fussy children.

Killing time in Amsterdam

Finally found a solution in Doha for hauling the kids and too much hand luggage.

So exited about the toothbrush

Esther found a giant stuffed dog in Amsterdam for the 3 hour layover

Tivoli, on the other hand, had to be content pushing the cart for her 8 hour layover in Doha

Cool moving dinosaurs

And a giant Pooh Bear???

Finally getting some sleep


We made it.
