Our two uncles came to load their van with all our 21 bags and take us to the airport. They also, of course, did the last minute weight check for us at home and the airport.
In New York, Auntie Zalisha, Auntie Zan, and Yusuf were there at the airport at 2 am to get the 7 of us, our 7 carry ons, and our 14 suitcases. We (5 ladies) had to get 700 lbs of luggage off the carousel, on the cart, to the car, and in their 2 vans. Did I mention there were no men?
The next morning Auntie Zalisha made us a delicious breakfast with bake. We visited for a while then off to the airport again this time for a 9 ½ hour flight. Uncle Amo, Auntie Zalisha, Auntie Zan, Sharif, and Dean took us to the airport again in 2 vans. Uncle Amo and Sharif took everything out of the van. Everyone who came to the airport stayed with us until the security check. They were so helpful. They waited on the horribly long line with us, they pushed the 3 carts, they watched the kids, Uncle Amo weighed all the bags, and they even spoke to the woman behind the counter for us. If they hadn’t stayed to help there might have been some crying and I am not talking about the children.
