Traveling around the World... to Papua New Guinea!!

 We began our journey in Halifax airport in Nova Scotia... where they have rocking chairs at every gate! Nice! Especially at 5 am!! Yes, Jonathan is in there somewhere, under all the clothes. :)

 We had a six hour layover in Boston, MA, so my mom drove over to see us one last time. :) Jonathan was shocked to see his grandmother again. :)

 But he was happy to play with Grandma, and Grandma was so happy to see Jonathan again after 2 months apart!

 This is what we looked like as we went through many airports!!

 Hanging out in a hotel along the way...

 Jonathan is a little overwhelmed... the carry-on bags are larger then him!

 But it is easy to distract him and he was having fun once again!

 Enjoying a life of ease, relaxing on the pillows!

 And we were back to the airports once again... Jonathan and I watched the luggage while Jacob tended to other things. :)

 Sleeping in the plane...

 Walking through the airports... when we didn't have a cart... many people told him he looked like a pack mule. :) Poor guy!!

 We waited in line a lot, to go through customs or board shuttle buses!

 And more waiting...  for the next flight...

 Jonathan sleeping in his bassinet on the 14 hours flight from LA to Brisbane... and he slept a long time! :) We also slept a lot! :) We were so happy that he had a bassinet and so happy that we had extra leg room. :)

The basinnett was right in front of us... as you can see here... Jacob watching a movie and the bassinet was right in front of that! But it worked great!

 After a 14 hour flight from LA to Brisbane, we rushed to go through customs and get to the gate before our domestic flight took off. We arrived just in time... and headed to Cairns, Australia. We enjoyed a break from traveling and stayed one night at the Tree Tops Lodge run by Wycliffe Bible Translators!

 Taking a walk in Cairns...

 Just two more flights... Cairns to Port Moresby, PNG and then Port Moresby to Wewak!!

 And a little more waiting... so, more time to take pictures. :)

 Jonathan did so well as we traveled for four days! He even had his own little seat belt that connected to mine. :) He loved to look at all the new people and places. And when he got tired he just fell asleep in our arms. :)

When we finally arrived in Papua New Guinea Jonathan was very excited... he met Donnell, one of the NTM representatives in the capital city of Port Moresby.

 Once we arrived in Port Moresby, (POM), we just had one more flight.... to Wewak!! But we had a long wait in a very hot place!

And there were lots of other people there because not many of the normal flights left on time. We were so happy when they finally announced that the plane to Wewak was now boarding. :)
