So hear we are sitting in the Buffalo Airport for the first leg of our extremely l-o-n-g journey!  It is Monday, May 14th (the day AFTER Mother's Day - I told Jason that the only present that I wanted for Mother's Day was for him to fly solo with the kids and I would meet them there...I got cards and a ring (loved them, honey), but I guess it was no go for my request of a  solo flight abroad!)  We first will fly from Buffalo to Boston, then Boston to Dublin, and the third and final leg will be Dublin to Brussels.  We will arrive in Brussels on Tuesday, May 15th around 10:30 AM.  Keep in mind that we are 6 hours ahead of EST.  Soooo...here we are snacks, coloring books, electronic devices, etc. in tow.  I had planned on spacing out the snacks and activities, but of course we are not even on a plane yet and everything is out.  As my Mother always says, "Why should it be any different?!"
