Trip to Brazil


April 9th the kids and I flew to Brazil. My baby sister Andreia came to LA for helping us on this trip. We flew from LA to Atlanta then to Manaus and finally to Brasilia. It was a looong trip but not too bad because it was a night flight. We were lucky because the planes were not full and the kids could use two seats for sleeping. We stopped in Manaus and spent 8 hours there with the Batistas, at the end of the day we flew to Brasilia, our home city.
Behind we left Augusto and a messy house. The movers went to pack and transport our stuff. It was the best part of this story because we didn't pack anything!! All we had to do was to clean. Augusto had a lot to do at the end but didn't need to pack or carry anything. What a blessing!
The process for packing and loading the truck took 2 days and on the third day Augusto left to NZ. He had a 3 weeks class to teach before we move in definitive in July.

Dia 9 de abril eu e as crianças voamos para o Brasil. A Deia, minha irma caçula veio para nos ajudar nessa viagem. Saimos de LA para Atlanta, depois Manaus, onde passamos umas 8 horas com os Batistas e no fim do dia voamos para Brasilia. A viagem nao foi tao ruim, pois foi um voo noturno e as crianças puderam usar 2 assentos para dormir (o aviao nao estava tao cheio).
Augusto ficou em LA para organizar a mudança. Uma empresa levou 2 dias para empacotar e transportar tudo. Por sinal essa foi a melhor parte, pois nao tivemos que empacotar nada, tudo o que tivemos que fazer foi limpar! Que bençao! Na quarta-feira 14 de abril, Augusto viajou para NZ onde ficou por 3 semanas para dar aula.
