Flight Delayed!!!

Well, we a sitting here in San Francisco waiting for our flight to Dallas. Our flight (AA 1178) has been delayed and we will NOT arrive at DFW until 10:00pm!
We have officially been up for 24 hours since no one managed to sleep on the long flight, so we are pretty much exhausted.
If anyone still wants to greet us you can but most likely we will not hang around too long at the airport.
If you do come to the airport: PLEASE HELP TAKE SOME PICTURES AND VIDEO FOR US.
The long flight was miserable to say the least. I think I took Sydney to bathroom at least 10 times and she pretty much had played with all of her toys in the first 2 hours of the flight. We tried to get her to watch the movies on her personal TV screen since they had so many in Chinese but she kept playing with the remote and turning it off. She was constantly pushing buttons,turning lights on and off and could not sit still for 5 minutes. We were constantly giving her this and that and pretty much could not even enjoy a movie ourselves.
We thought we had a plan...Benadryl and our test drive the other night worked like a charm. We were not so lucky this go around. It did the opposite!!! She finally slept for a couple of hours at the end of the flight but they had turned on the lights at that point so there was no sleeping for us.
We cannot wait to be home and to sleep in our beds!!!!
P.S. Sydney is now a United States Citizen!!!!

YAYYYYYY.....CONGRATS to the newest American Citizen!!!! Glad you survived through that LONG flight. Now once you get home, you may have to sleep in shifts. I tell ya the jet lag is a B%$#^ on the way home.

I hear ya on being up for 24 hours. I think I was at 30 hours and then once we landed at home I got all emotional and just CRIED!!!

I'm glad your home!!!!

Hope you arrived home safe and sound. Delays are no fun. We missed our connection home (we thought) but our original flight ended up being delayed---yeah for us! Except that we left at 10:45pm (instead of 3:30) for a 1:30 am arrival!!! AHHH! I hope you arrived at a much more decent hour. :-)

The first few days home may be rough. I didn't sleep well for a week. The rest of the family was back on track in three days---but I'm a bad sleeper so it took me longer.

So glad ALL of you were able to travel!! Looking foward to watching Sydney at home.
