Mooshi & Juju - the Newark, NJ layover

Our two babies arrived safely in Newark. All afternoon, while trying to work, I was tracking flight #CO485 as they traveled from one coast to another. Needless to say, it was challenging to stay focused.

I came home and went to the grocery store to by a chicken breast for their arrival tomorrow. I had to ask the butcher where the chicken was; for some reason all the chicken is wrapped and just out in the open - I was looking at the meat counter. Anyway, the nice guy showed me where they were. When I asked if I could just buy one (they came in packages of two) he told me I could just freeze one. Of course I had to explain they were for my cats. He was dumbfounded! Seriously, the guy thought I was crazy - his eyes about popped out of his head. I had a good laugh.

Still have to set up their cat litter and get the conservatory room prepared. Will wait to set up the air mattress tomorrow. Want to see what kind of shape they are in when they arrive.

I just can't imagine what they are experiencing. Such an extreme change from their normal every day lives.

Departure is set for 19:15 - Newark time. They are due to arrive in London at 6:20am. Approximately seven hour flight.
