Ambien is my friend.......

So, I slept for the first time ever on a plane and it had to be dramatic!! I took an Ambien right after we boarded in New York, afterall it was 1 a.m. so I was tired and should have been sleeping! So I woke up like 7 hours later and dont remember much, feeling good and thinking "Wow,time sure is flying by". Well, the flight attendant comes over to me and asks me if my neck is ok, so I said yes and found the question a bit strange. So, Kaytlin looks at me and says in a disgusted teenage voice....Mom, everyone was gathered around you checking to see if you were ok as your head was hanging forward and you looked dead and everyone was concerned. She said at one point she checked my pulse as she could not wake me up. I had flight attendants continuosly checking on me and bringing us juice, water and treats for the remainder of the flight. I think they were happy to see me walk off the plane. Kaytlin said that she assured them that I was just very tired yet they remained concerned. I slept, that was the important thing and Ambien works as I have never, ever been able to sleep on a plane, train or in the upright position for that matter.

Now, we have arrived and have an 8 hour lay over. We will get something to eat (trying to find the Dunkin Donuts)and wait to leave. I hope Mongolia is ready for us and thank you God for the heat wave in Mongolia. It looks like the highs will be above zero the whole week.

  1. Heatwave just above zero. Hmmm, I don't think so. The West Indian in me says that's too bloody cold. But I am totally excited that you are forging ahead and I pray for God's supernatural heat to warm you every step of the way. You are both awesome in so many ways. God bless you. Viva Mongolia.
