11:05 pm - Depart on overnight flight from Sao Paolo to JFK New York. Passengers were flexible and gracious to allow us to rearrange our seat assignments so our family could sit together. Some sleep better than others. The food was pretty good. 

Gideon wins the prize for first kid asleep on the overnight flight. He was out before the safety briefing.

7:40 am - Arrive at JFK Airport in New York. Collect bags, go through customs, recheck bags, go through security [we're pretty fast at this by now], find our gate at the absolute other end of the terminal. Feed the kids breakfast because they all slept through meal service on the last plane.

11:59 am -  Depart for Raleigh. Short, smooth flight.

2:45 pm - Drive to Fayetteville. 

4:15 pm - Arrive home. Unpack, wash, start planning the next adventure.
