We arrived at SFO smoothly in the morning with lots of time remaining. The boys were excited carrying their backpacks, and Connor could not stop asking when we would board our flight. After eating lunch and taking some walks, we settled into our seats inside the plane where we would be for the next 14+ hours. The boys entertained themselves scanning through chapter books, playing on Tablets and drawing. They enjoyed their first in-flight lunch even though it was slightly spicy. Halfway through the flight, Logan began to complain about having motion sickness. The poor little boy dealt with it quietly without mentioning it too much to Stuart. At one point he finally threw up into a bag. We thought he would feel better afterward but it was just the beginning of it. He ate a little bit at snack time and the last meal, but he eventually threw up all he had eaten. Once Stuart was not able to open the bag for him fast enough, Logan got part of his shirt dirty. I assisted to get him changed into a backup shirt. Poor Logan was sad and quietly told us "I wish I was Connor, so I don’t have to choke". The remaining time Logan stayed quietly sleeping or watching shows. Connor stayed in his seat pleasantly playing with every activity we brought, and he periodically asked how many hours left with the flight. However he did not want to nap again after the brief initial one, and he finally took a second nap toward the end. Connor managed to sleep only a couple of hours during the entire trip while Logan probably had just slightly longer. We all were so happy and relieved when we landed. We picked up the luggage, and purchased some "Octopus cards" for the bus ride to the hotel. Logan was happy and playful again, but he still threw up another time after we had landed so we were very worried about the bus ride. Fortunately soon after we hopped onto the bus, the boys fell asleep the entire 1:15 ride. When we safely arrived at the hotel, I was extra relieved to have guided us to our destination. We checked in and dropped off our belongings in the room, then we headed back down to the mall which adjoined our hotel. We grabbed a small bite at a late night noodle place. Logan complained of not feeling well after the elevator ride (down from the 22nd floor) and after he ate just a little bit, but fortunately he kept everything in this time. We enjoyed walking around the mall for a bit and finally returned to the hotel for a late night. We were asleep quickly after midnight.
