We are finally home!

So, our flight got delayed by a day and we were lucky to be put on the priority list (Reese being sick) to fly back! First thing in the morning we went to the airport to check-in and there were many angry passengers who didn't get to board the plane. Security personnel were on hand to keep watch. One passenger literary threw his passport to the lady in charge and told her that she is responsible for him and he walked off! So much drama. The ones that didn't make it for this flight will probably only fly to KL in another day if they are lucky or else it would be in 2 days time! 

Reese was weak and feverish throughout the flight home. We bought the hot seats but were not given those and were cramped in the usual seats. It was difficult when you have a sick child. Poor Reese was actually very good and he was in and out of sleep with a little whine. He was coughing and nose was runny.  Poor boy, hardly ate any food. That almost 12 hours flight was so hard to get through but we did it. 

We were soooooooo glad to be home and immediately crashed out upon arriving home. So tired were we that even lunch we couldn't eat much. Dinner was better and Reese is now happily sleeping. :)

We were in Paris for 5 nights only managed to enjoy 1 day! The rest of the days were spent in the studio apartment eating take-out Turkish food and instant pasta, fruits, yogurt and sausages. Luckily the studio comes with a full kitchen and Carrefour was just down the street. On the day our plane was delayed, we stayed in an airport hotel (IbisHotel) and all our meals (buffet) were taken care off. 

So that was the end to our holiday of the year.  :)

Even though sick, he was thrilled to be on a wheel chair! Kept asking for it.
