Checking in
Well the fun at the airport took no time at all to get started. We started by waiting for the airlines to open up to check us in. We had to wait about 20 minutes, not bad but when you're juggling 13 suitcases, 7 carry on's and 5 kids it is big deal.
On to security
I was on the ball and made sure we had no liquids, no sharp objects, the boys had their shoes off and we were ready...UMMM MAYBE NOT.
The kids go through perfectly and I am pushing their bags through, when I realize Chase's bag has been pulled out and is getting checked... "oh crap what did I miss?" Water, phew Chase had filled his cup which I had specifically told him not to, but this is easy no big deal. Time to send his bag back through...WHAT? It's getting pulled again? Seriously I told that kid that Joey had to stay home we can't take animals on the plane. No dog! But really what are the looking for? They have now emptied his bag completely and are checking the interior lining.
The guard looks at me and starts playing 20 questions.
- Is this his bag? Yes
- Is it any one Else's? No
-Sir, when was the last time you used this bag? Maybe 6 months ago.
- Do you take it camping? Yes
-What do you take with you when you go camping?- Knives and guns.
- Yep that's what I thought.
He pulls out his hand as is holding four bullets. Holy Crap!
They put it through again and it's still not clear. Do one more thorough search and find three more bullets that makes seven total.
They proceed by doing a background check on Jeff and then send us on our way.
SERIOUSLY? Can we just get on the plane already?
Delayed
After all that our first plane is delayed for almost an hour and when it's time to get on I can't use the car seat for Lilly. Grrr.
Board the plane and realize why. This is the teeniest tiniest plane I have ever seen and it seats 45 people...45 people who are about to die!
The ride was good and we made it to L.A. with no time to spare and we were escorted to our plane by a cute little Korean man who was in a huge hurry to get us on our plane. Just picture the scene from "Home Alone" when their all running through the airport...Yep that was us.
Whew we made it! But wait a minute, they are telling be I can't use Lilly's car seat on this flight either. You've got to be kidding this is the longest flight of all I need her car seat. But it's a no go.
What a ride the kids were Amazingly good and Lilly only fell off the seat once when I dosed off for a minute and wasn't holding her, ooops!
Landed in Hong Kong right on time.
The wait in Hong Kong went fast and before we knew it we were on our way to Cebu. This time with a car seat.
Landed In Cebu safe and sound now on to great adventures!

That was a great start to a great adventure ;) I'm glad nothing serious happened to you when they found the bullets. That's kind of scary!
I still can't believe there were bullets. I'm glad that you weren't taken in for questioning or something.
