Surviving 48 HR Flight to AFRICA in FIRST CLASS with 8 KIDS 🇺🇬

[@MAZELEE]

Welcome to our Qatar Airways travel journey from LAX to EBB (Los Angeles to Entebbe)! Our journey kicked off aboard the luxurious Airbus A350-1000, featuring the exclusive Q-suite first business class-perfect for couples with its unique conjoining sleeping arrangements. After a smooth 15-hour flight to DOHA, Qatar, we enjoyed a 17-hour layover with business class perks like shuttle service, hotel rooms, and $50 spending vouchers. We added an additional room to accommodate the rest of our family. The layover sleeping accommodation was a great break like a reset button for all of us to get some solid rest and transition smoothly to the time zone change since it shares the same time zone! Don’t take it for granted! Next, we flew on the Boeing 787-8 from DOHA to EBB in business class comfort, although without the Qsuites this time around. When we arrived at Entebbe airport, immigration took a bit of time, but our patient driver from “Car Hire in Uganda” awaited us for pickup. After dropping him off at a nearby junction, we headed to our fantastic gated villa Airbnb in Kawuku/Bunga. 🏠 Airbnb: bit.ly/kasanahouse 🚐: Car Rental: bit.ly/carehire1 🚐: Car Rental Tripadvisor: bit.ly/ugandacar1 ✈ Flight Info Airline: Qatar Airways Aircraft: Airbus A350-1000 & Boeing 787-8 Aircraft registration: A7-AOC & A7-AHD Route: LAX - Doha - Entebbe Flight numbers: QR0740 & QR1383 Seat: 11E & 11F (on A350-1000) and 1F & 1K (on 787-8) We paid for our first class tickets using a combination of points of cash. 💳 Chase Credit Card Rewards to Earn Points on Flights: bit.ly/chasemazelee Join us for the full adventure and subscribe for more travel content!

[@alisonmiller2708]

As a mom, I felt the tension of you all trying to settle down and relax while managing a squiggly sometimes fussy baby. I remember those days...Though babies are loveable and beautiful and can make you smile and laugh, they do require you to be selfless when you don't feel like it anymore and require patience and understanding when you really need a break. Parenting is good hard work. It's a rewarding work, and it can make you a better person (than you started) as you learn to do it with grace. Good work family🎉

[@danikahholdman2609]

Baby had THE first class experience fr fr. Acting like a bachelor being waited on hand and foot.😂😂 I like how quickly Alena became comfortable with driving on the road. She stays being full of light and positivity for others. I had the same reaction as her when I saw those beautiful kids on their way back from school. The uniforms were so pretty. 😍 My trip to east Africa is long overdue.

I adore this channel. I am impressed with the videography as it captures the true essence of your interactions. It reflects your family’s raw authenticity. Regarding some negative opinions about you and your husband flying in business class, it’s okay for parents to treat themselves every now and again. There should be no guilt in that given the daily sacrifices you make for the family. The older siblings are more than capable of looking after the younger ones. Flying business class was also a captivating treat for your viewers as we were able to live vicariously through you during those moments.

Alana, the 'Adhan' or 'Call to Prayer' that you hear from the speakers of the mosque or majid and are heard when it's around time to pray. Muslims are obligated to pray at five distinct times throughout the day and this serves as a reminder. The prayers are called "Salah, the 2nd pillar of Islam and a direct link between a Muslim and God, are spiritual checkpoints throughout our day. These prayers are moments of peace, reflection, and connection, keeping us grounded and spiritually aligned in our fast-paced lives" (source: Muslim Pro)

I believe I have watched Elena from the beginning and through her children births and growing...the boy has always been that way and disrespectful at times, I thought. Elena is strong in everyvway and very much determined to have command of her journey and that of her children lives and future. She makes sure to be a part of it. Obviously, she is smart., strong and courageous. Her values and expectation for her children's education and religion have been on point. She never fails to teach, guide, and has humor. I appause them as parents, and hopefully, as her children grow to adults, they will realize how special she is and how they have benefit in every way. Their lives is not fairy tale living and I'm sure it is a challenge at time for them all. But because of their parenting they are experiencing much and there , exposure is learning in very valuable lessons that life provides...especially one of traveling. I hope I don't miss the second half of those trips. I BELIEVE, it's a treat for all of us! I only wish I could watch on a big screen but this will suffice just fine. GOD BLESS PARENTING

Never watched a travel vlog so attentively like I did today. Thank you for always giving it to us raw and unscripted.

[@MeeMee-pc6bv]

Why would the big kids sit together and let the little ones sit on their own. The three bigs kids should sit with the littles ones. Each one should sit with two little kids. 😍

I am from Africa and I prayed for you and your family to travel to Africa. For more than two years you have been on my prayers. I thank the Lord for making it happen. Welcome home and I wish Africa stays in your heart and no matter what, one day you find your way home again.

I’d love to find mine

It's appropriate to mention your country , Africa is 52 countries

Thank God you all have made it safe to this part of your trip.

Alena is so good at memorizing my Lord! Also family is the greatest blessing that can happen to anyone ❤ I'm glad that they chose Uganda as the first African country to experience... proudly associated!

[@journeyb9363]

You found a gem in Joe. Beautiful how you both work together. The world would be a much better place if, only people could be inspired by programmes like yours.

[@ItsTrudy]

It’s not even funny

[@allforlove8660]

I like the fact that she is so natural and minding what people think.

[@Flourish_today]

Alena told the kids she is flying first class so that she can tell them how it feels. She wants them to get the story from her. In my opinion the kids will grow up remembering her first class story and they will aspire and work towards travelling only and only in first class. 😊

[@FaithMJ-u7k]

ALENA watching you and your kids is such a aspiring thing, you are a strong woman keep doing great I love your family, I'm watching you from South Africa but I'm a Zimbabwean ❤.

[@lisadavis9849]

The Mazelee football team... The mum to be the goal keeper, the dad the mid fielder.. Marvellous rowdy team... no dull moment,, Have fun and enjoys your trips

[@roseyrose9467]

That was clearly an adventure and a half. I am impressed Alena how you drove on those Ugandan roads. Looks like everybody had some jet lag. Special memories I am sure. Thanks for sharing
