Good luck and fingers crossed for you (and her) that the flights go well

Only 24 hours and she'll be there whether they do or not, just a blink in the scheme of things....

So she spends 24 hours couped up in a plane, she lands, and you put her straight in a box.

Best Christmas present imaginable, for all of you. Sweet memories in the making.

Hmmmm, the mother in a box. From my perspective that sounds like a really interesting concept.........

Sounds like a wonderful surprise for your kids, I'm sure you'll all have a fantastic time. Enjoy.

I flew my mum and dad over to Dubai with Emirates when I lived there and they were awesome with the assistance that they gave my mum and dad as my mum needed a wheelchair and my dad had a walking stick. I'm sure she's going to have a fabulous journey with them and will arrive in Australia happy to see you all and looking forward to a fab Christmas with the family! :-)

My MIL flew with Malaysian Airways on an assisted flight. They managed to lose her for a while at kula lumper airport. I sent a strongly worded e mail to them, asking what in hell were they doing... finding her??

shouldn't laugh but you are so funny. Just keep the vision of the box in your mind and I'm sure you will be fine!
