Congrats! I can't wait to see pics when you get home! I was wondering when you were leaving for pickup. Our ds was really good on the plane ride home. The only issue we had was he did not get enough sleep, and ended up getting sick on our last flight. And the changing tables on planes are small. My dh had a really awful experience with the changing table.
Remember to get plenty of pictures!
