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!

Hey guys❤. Just wanted to say that the "singing" you hear 5 times a day, all throughout every Islamic Country....IS called THE AZAN....which is the "CALL TO PRAYER" IT sounds sooo beautiful !
Thanks so much for recognising the Pearl of Africa, Uganda. My homeland. I pray for your safe stay and also pray that you have the best experience in my homeland. I pray that the Lord protect you from all the dangers that may come your way. Enjoy Uganda. We love you. ❤❤🙏🏿🙏🏿
Joe is so tranquil and collected, Alena is a volcano, funny and engaging. It's always so fun to watch this contrast. Shows the real nature of their ethnic background. They truly complete one another. 😊
The 3 of you laying on the bed snuggled and kissing is a beautiful thing. I love how you make each kid feel special. You’re raising such smart, well-adjusted and emotionally intelligent kids. Job well done 👏🏾 👏🏾.
Ma soeur , vous êtes une maman extraordinaire et exemplaire, mais quelle âge avez vous ? Combien d enfants avez vous ? Êtes-vous né aux USA ? Bravo en tout cas
Most Ugandans who have live in the U.S for a while say they cannot drive in Uganda on their vacations. You have proved that it's possible, you have my respect Alena!! Thanks for visiting Uganda! Am so glad you and your family enjoyed the pearl 😊 ❤
Hats off to you Alena. Driving so confidently for the first time on Uganda roads with without directions. And on the other side of the road too! Uganda drives on the left. Well done!!!
@@ingabireflavia9329Not true. Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania drive on the left side. Am Kenyan and I've been to Uganda and Tanzania. Rwanda drives on the right
@@toyaleejb7714that’s the only thing Israel could do is participate in whatever makes them get the “attention” cus it doesn’t exist in the first place 😂
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🎉
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've been planning my first trip for many years and every time I see pictures of there, I feel homesick for the place I've never been.
Gosh Alena its hard not to be proud of you girl. Ive been watching since the townhouse in MD. You and Joe were just kids in love and it was authentic, beautiful and captivating; so were the girls at the time. Now so much has changed, you all have changed but so much hasn’t changed and its just such a blessing to watch it all. Love you guys. So happy for you to be in the motherland. Keep on keeping on my friend. God is with you all and loves you so much!
The 3 of you laying on the bed snuggled and kissing is a beautiful thing. I love how you make each kid feel special. You’re raising such smart, well-adjusted and emotionally intelligent kids. Job well done 👏🏾 👏🏾. And oooooooooo that first class bus was bussin!!!!
I absolutely LOVE how you make a full vlog of the travel adventures---the good and the bad. You definitely keep it real and authentic in both the visuals and your thoughts. Its kind of like we're tagging along on the whole adventure as well. Alena was hilarious with the economy v business jokes! And as always, the filming, the editing, and mostly the storytelling was on point. This is why we absolutely love your channel and always come back. ❤
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.
You and your family are soooo authentic and I LOVE IT. I WILL forever support you because of your authenticity and pure spirit. May God continue to bless you and your family.
That’s because in countries like this if you are rude you can go to prison.. so even though you think America is bad, other countries are very controlling and conservative
Alena cracked me up so much in this vlog. Plus she’s got balls of steel! Driving around in a new country? Driving in Nigeria, experienced or not, is chaotic. I loved every bit of this. Ajedi needs his attitude checked though. He is always grumpy and complaining about something. Overall, the children were well-behaved on the trip to Uganda. Mustn’t have been easy. Can’t wait for the next video.
I love how this video started in warp speed in contrast to the last video which was slower paced with packing etc. it literally feels like that on the day of travel with kiddos lol. It takes all energy to get out of the door
It’s amazing how disciplined the children are. Great job guys. You surely deserve first class and whatever little time you can get away from the kids while still checking on them.👏👏👏 Enjoy your travels.
This was awesome . Thanks for allowing us to on your trip to the mother land . I can't wait to see part two. I will feel like I've been to Uganda a little though your family. The kids did well on that long trip. You did so well driving with the scooters and small streets, especially not knowing where you were going . What a great job. I'm looking forward to seeing more .
Alena I’m loving her first class vibes lol the shades she was throwing on these kids it was one of the funniest videos, sometimes we all got to enjoy the finer things in life
@@bhappy5510imagine talking down on someone you used your data to watch. Misplaced priorities. If you don’t like them why bother? Sticking around to say shit about someone who doesn’t give a damn what you think. Get a life..
@yolandascurry960 Mine too. I remember once she left her thin belt at home that she would take with her. I told my sister she didn't have the belt. We cut up, that was the first and very last time EVER!! She took us home whopped our butts and went back to that same store. We were prefect angels. I still remember the stores name it was Collins. My kids didn't try me though out in stores. But my son did at school once I went and picked him up took him home tore that butt up and took him back to school. No more problems out of him. I have grands now soon will be 8 and I can not pop them but I give the the stare down. We have double standards when it comes to the grands.
Your videos have become an escape, knowing that things might not always be perfect but seeing a big happy family for me is so entertaining. Since finding your channel, I literally binge-watch your old videos waiting for a new upload. Hoping to see you guys soon. Great videos! Miss ya'll, love from the UK.
Alena telling the kids to behave at the airport reminds me of how teachers in school would tell us to calm down and act right in the hallways 😆 Love this! Can't wait for more Uganda videos.
Mazlee family education in action. It is truly a blessing to be invited into your personal space via this platform that you so wisely navigate through.
Kudos to Alena for driving in our country smoothly,at times it gets congested but glad you pulled through,you are indeed on the motherland so you were guided naturally
educating the kids in the worst way. How does she glorify the apartheid state of Israel even though there's multiple evidence on their murderous intent
Im so excited for this video! Ive been watching all yall old videos till yall posted new ones! I love seeing the journey the lord is taking your family on. Every now and then yall will fall on my spirit during my prayer time with the lord and ill send up a prayer of protection over your family. Ive been watching yall since i was 13 years old. Im 20 now and in college lol. Love you guys so much and excited to see where the lord takes you and your family❤🙌🏼
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)
They are a Christian family and don’t adhere to robot praying. They pray daily and not because it is required of them but because they desire to be in a true relationship with the One True Living God…Abba Father, YAWH, Jesus Christ, the Spirit of the Lord, Holy Spirit.
Love how respectful you were of other cultures and how you explained the Quran to your kids. AFAIK the sounds you heard on your early morning walk are to call people to the prayers (I forgot the name). It's similar to church bells that ring in christian churches, so that people know when it's time to go to the Mosque.
educating the kids in the worst way. How does she glorify the apartheid state of Israel even though there's multiple evidence on their murderous intent
I can’t imagine how the other first class passengers felt, you pay 5,000.00 to have baby cutting up . 🤷🏽♀️😆🧐👀💆🏽♀️🧏🏽♀️😢.. I commend the bravery and efforts. But this makes me appreciate traveling solo even more.
The boy. Always with att. Omg 😮. The kids are really well behaved. Amazing huaband, amazing wife.. may you grow old together in happiness, strength and good health❤
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
After watching this , Now am going to Uganda ! Just booked for me and my whole family like right now , ohh and am driving when I get thr , the left side experience looks fun

Alena Maze & Lee really have come a long way. Kudos to you all and your beautiful family. Welcome to Uganda 🇺🇬. Welcome to the Mother Land. Welcome to AFRICA!!! pls tell ur son to smile more, he needs it😅 sending love from Lagos, Nigeria.🇳🇬
It's nice experiencing Uganda with the Mazelee family! The apartment is so beautiful! Great warm and professional service. Looking forward to seeing more of your experience in Uganda.
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.
If you were flying non 1st class you wouldn’t have the space you have in 1st class. You must have known your experience with a toddler would be different from without one. I don’t know if you believe in non drug but natural relaxation/calming vitamins but I always used when traveling with children, it really helped. It has been my experience that all international flights seats and leg rooms are larger, and you get more food, mostly gear to that countries, dietary styles. My hat goes off to you mom and dad👍🏽 for taking such a long flight with 7 children, and for traveling to such a distant lands, your children are truly blessed 👏🏽🫶🏽 Thank you for taking us along on you special journey 👏🏽🫶🏽 Enjoy your visit 💐
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
I appreciate how you and your husband make sure as a family you travel the world so the children can be exposed. They will never ever forget how you both made them feel going up. I wish your sister and her kids were with you all.
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.
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 ❤.
Alana....and you drove on Ugandan roads just hours in arriving ? And you managed to navigate to your Airbnb ? You aren't just a super human ..you are out of this world. Uganda roads, driving, drivers can go craaaaazy. But you had no problem. ..even after the first thing you met was a terrible accident. Kudos. And thanks again for choosing Uganda. I can't wait to see and get to know my country through your very attentive eyes. Mazele Oyeeee! ❤❤
WOOOOHOOOOO WHEN THE AFRICAN MUSIC DROPPED 🎊🎉🎊🎉🥳🥳💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 TOUCH DOWN MOTHER LAND💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS ONE, IT WAS A WHOOOOOOLE VIBE 🤗 GODBLESS & PROTECT MAZELEE FAMILY 🙏🏾
Alana u are such a comedian 😂😂, u cracked me through the video. Am glad the kids eventually enjoyed it. Thank you for visiting Uganda my motherland 🙏🙏❤️🇺🇬🇺🇬
LOL, I meeeean, she popped out eight (count 'em 8) kids, like it was nothing sooo…yeah, she's built different 😲 Heck, even I wouldn't dare to attempt driving in Africa (and I was born in there)😁
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!
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
Wow you guys did amazing. How you stayed so calm, handled all those kids recorded everything and edited it so professionally. My nervous system would be shot through. Alena is a damn fine woman mentally, emotionally, physically (genetics and posture soo good) Well done I’m glad you went to business class, you deserve it! I hope you get to do it again without. Wiggly baby. ❤👏🏽
you mean Dr Alana? The PhD MATH wiz? The husband is a BEAUTIFUL soul and Dr. Alana is an inspiration.. May the Holy ONE CREATOR continue to Bless and keep them ALL.
@@jesseamsterdam9504 Yes, Dr. Alana, super mom. Her husband is totally laid back and this balances out her energy. They're doing such a great job raising their family. 👍👏
This is really nice its a wonderful blessing to be able to travel with all your kids to see different parts of the world ,the hospitality on the plane was just breath taking love how everyone was relaxed and comfortable. Uganda looks like its going to to have lasting memories ,may God continue to keep the family safe Joe and Alana you are both doing a wonderful job with your kids ❤
You go, Girl!! You are a brave and strong women. I have 9 children, but not brave enough to showcase my life. it's a Scorpio thing. All power to you and your gorgeous family. Love watching you. Recently subscribed.
Baby gave y'all the blues on that plane😂😂! She definitely is Right everything that she said Joe! About the United States of America and the customer service. America is not giving their people what they need to live happy.
Really enjoyed watching every bit of this. I thought travelling with two kids was a hustle till i watched this.....hats off. Then driving in Uganda without maps and for the first time......im lost of words. Super woman indeed
Wow Alena, that drive back to motherland without missing a road, it shows how the ancestors welcomed you home. Im happy to see you home with husband and the kids. I Hope you enjoyed your stay.

Love how yall travel together, yall show such patience & humor... make it look so easy to travel with a big family. Love yalls videos!
Mazlee family education in action. It is truly a blessing to be invited into your personal space via this platform that you so wisely navigate through.
Good insight, in the airport, Alena. " People always come up to me asking if I need help, cause they think i' m doing something wrong".
@@Faithwalk212No she thought they were approaching her because she had done something wrong, but they were just checking to see if she needed help.
Kudos to Alena for driving in our country smoothly,at times it gets congested but glad you pulled through,you are indeed on the motherland so you were guided naturally
I just love you and how you keep your children so educated and informed. This is such a blessing.
educating the kids in the worst way. How does she glorify the apartheid state of Israel even though there's multiple evidence on their murderous intent
Im so excited for this video! Ive been watching all yall old videos till yall posted new ones! I love seeing the journey the lord is taking your family on. Every now and then yall will fall on my spirit during my prayer time with the lord and ill send up a prayer of protection over your family. Ive been watching yall since i was 13 years old. Im 20 now and in college lol. Love you guys so much and excited to see where the lord takes you and your family❤🙌🏼
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)
Can't stand when foreigners act like they have never heard about Islam
Good job I am proud to be Muslim
They are a Christian family and don’t adhere to robot praying. They pray daily and not because it is required of them but because they desire to be in a true relationship with the One True Living God…Abba Father, YAWH, Jesus Christ, the Spirit of the Lord, Holy Spirit.
@@alexiscolby9415 are that insecure? Really Robot? Look how you are brain washed! Wow!
@@alexiscolby9415 so on point. 100%
Love how respectful you were of other cultures and how you explained the Quran to your kids. AFAIK the sounds you heard on your early morning walk are to call people to the prayers (I forgot the name). It's similar to church bells that ring in christian churches, so that people know when it's time to go to the Mosque.
The Athan (call to prayer) 😊

22:40 I just love how Alena is fighting for her life with baby while Joe is peacefully munching his dinner😭😭
😂 I thought I was the only one that saw it!!😂
@@3DPeach i was literally dyingg i love them so much😂
I can’t imagine how the other first class passengers felt, you pay 5,000.00 to have baby cutting up . 🤷🏽♀️😆🧐👀💆🏽♀️🧏🏽♀️😢.. I commend the bravery and efforts. But this makes me appreciate traveling solo even more.
Rightttttt 😂😂😂
It looks like the opposite
The boy. Always with att. Omg 😮.
The kids are really well behaved.
Amazing huaband, amazing wife.. may you grow old together in happiness, strength and good health❤
I appreciate all of you sharing your amazing experience traveling to Uganda. It was informative and entertaining from start to finish. God Bless!
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
After watching this , Now am going to Uganda ! Just booked for me and my whole family like right now , ohh and am driving when I get thr , the left side experience looks fun
You're welcome to uganda
Mamas interaction, thought processes, educating the kids on the drive to the hotel reminds you that she aint PhD in Math for nothing!!!! Yyaaassss

@@nez01 doesn't matter
Alena Maze & Lee really have come a long way. Kudos to you all and your beautiful family. Welcome to Uganda 🇺🇬. Welcome to the Mother Land. Welcome to AFRICA!!! pls tell ur son to smile more, he needs it😅 sending love from Lagos, Nigeria.🇳🇬
It's nice experiencing Uganda with the Mazelee family! The apartment is so beautiful! Great warm and professional service. Looking forward to seeing more of your experience in Uganda.
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.
If you were flying non 1st class you wouldn’t have the space you have in 1st class. You must have known your experience with a toddler would be different from without one. I don’t know if you believe in non drug but natural relaxation/calming vitamins but I always used when traveling with children, it really helped.
It has been my experience that all international flights seats and leg rooms are larger, and you get more food, mostly gear to that countries, dietary styles.
My hat goes off to you mom and dad👍🏽 for taking such a long flight with 7 children, and for traveling to such a distant lands, your children are truly blessed 👏🏽🫶🏽
Thank you for taking us along on you special journey 👏🏽🫶🏽
Enjoy your visit 💐
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
Joe, you and Alena just sooo cute...laid back and dynamite...so cute. Alena is never a dull moment... she's much fun.
Thank you for visiting my beautiful motherland Uganda!!🇺🇬🇺🇬
Love the family prayer at the end, and the way the children bravely and appreciatively tried cuisine that's so foreign to them.
Hats off to you sis, driving in a foreign country 1st day you land, now that's power...🎉😇
I appreciate how you and your husband make sure as a family you travel the world so the children can be exposed. They will never ever forget how you both made them feel going up. I wish your sister and her kids were with you all.
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
@@RuvaraShe77 I am from the Republic Democratic of Congo. The country that some people know about the millions of deaths keep in silence by the media.
Absolutely Beautiful!! Thank you. ❤❤
Nice,
Can't wait for more of ur next videos in uganda
No one has said it; but the way you divided 5000/24, I’m proud. You’re smart; Dr. Alana.
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 ❤.
Alana....and you drove on Ugandan roads just hours in arriving ? And you managed to navigate to your Airbnb ? You aren't just a super human ..you are out of this world. Uganda roads, driving, drivers can go craaaaazy. But you had no problem. ..even after the first thing you met was a terrible accident. Kudos. And thanks again for choosing Uganda. I can't wait to see and get to know my country through your very attentive eyes. Mazele Oyeeee! ❤❤
Uganda is as hard mostly the roads
Thank you very much Alana for everything. Love your wonderful family.
39:56 it's those moments that are most important for the kids knowing what love is supposed to be ❤

@@adjovie haha..me too in Nairobi can't drive at all.
That’s My Alena ( my sister in my head)❤
The only limitations we have are in our heads! We are capable of doing anything!!
Us Americans are a bolder, different and Unique breed for sure!!! 😉
One of the greatest mommies ever! The baby looks just like Joe! Praise the Lord for safe traveling mercies! 🙏🏽💛
Glad you arrived safely and enjoyed good food! The home looks lovely! Have a wonderful trip! Fabulous learning experience for the family!
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!
Maze Is in her baby spirit forever..❤ no matter how many kids she has
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
I cried tears of joy when you all reached African/Uganda. ❤️ You have such a beautiful family, thank you for sharing your journey!
😅I almost cried as well. Such a beautiful journey
I cried too!
Wow you guys did amazing. How you stayed so calm, handled all those kids recorded everything and edited it so professionally. My nervous system would be shot through. Alena is a damn fine woman mentally, emotionally, physically (genetics and posture soo good) Well done I’m glad you went to business class, you deserve it! I hope you get to do it again without. Wiggly baby. ❤👏🏽
Where did Mazlee get this gem of a husband? They are blessed to have each other.
They were school mates
Yes! Joe is an angel!
you mean Dr Alana? The PhD MATH wiz? The husband is a BEAUTIFUL soul and Dr. Alana is an inspiration.. May the Holy ONE CREATOR continue to Bless and keep them ALL.
@@jesseamsterdam9504 Yes, Dr. Alana, super mom. Her husband is totally laid back and this balances out her energy. They're doing such a great job raising their family. 👍👏
Yep. Joe is a sweetheart.
Thank you for sharing.We also had a layover in Doha on our way to South Africa, and the people were so kind, helpful
Thank you Alena and your family for visiting my mother land 🇺🇬 🇺🇬
This is really nice its a wonderful blessing to be able to travel with all your kids to see different parts of the world ,the hospitality on the plane was just breath taking love how everyone was relaxed and comfortable. Uganda looks like its going to to have lasting memories ,may God continue to keep the family safe Joe and Alana you are both doing a wonderful job with your kids ❤
One of my top favourite families on TH-cam always real and i love how you Alena are always full of information amd knowledge for your children
I love yal! Always interesting family vids.... Mom's energy is AMAZING.. a Mastermind! Dad is BRILLIANT! Keep going & growing! ❤
Not your son throwing a privilege kid fit cause he can't be with his parents in business class. " I already have $5,000 dollars" 🤣
I cracked up at that too. She had to give a whole dissertation to make him calm down. Too funny!
You go, Girl!! You are a brave and strong women. I have 9 children, but not brave enough to showcase my life. it's a Scorpio thing. All power to you and your gorgeous family. Love watching you. Recently subscribed.
Thank you so much for sharing your travel with small kids. Taking my toddler and preschooler to Zim and I needed to see this!
This family is giving. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Baby gave y'all the blues on that plane😂😂!
She definitely is Right everything that she said Joe! About the United States of America and the customer service. America is not giving their people what they need to live happy.
FACTZ
Sad truth
The baby was stressing me out and I’m not even the parent dealing with all that 😩
I agree America is not giving people what they need to be happy.
I’m glad someone said it!!
“Boy!… Boy please let me eat my ice cream” was so real 😂😂😂😂
What do you feed kids
23:05 lol
Really enjoyed watching every bit of this. I thought travelling with two kids was a hustle till i watched this.....hats off. Then driving in Uganda without maps and for the first time......im lost of words. Super woman indeed
Love you so much one of the most inspirational families online. I hope you enjoyed your stay in East Africa. Go nuts!! It's worth it!! 🥳🥳
I cracked up every time Elena emphasized “economy class.”
She's a pro at parenting
Yeah Elena can handle/tackle everything! Bless her ❤️.
Naw that was weird asf
Wow Alena, that drive back to motherland without missing a road, it shows how the ancestors welcomed you home. Im happy to see you home with husband and the kids. I Hope you enjoyed your stay.
There Are no dead people guiding her. It’s thanks to the Holy Spirit God alone
@@libfuzzy4629Haaaa😂😂😂😂 comon don't spoil her excitement. You are too funny!
@@libfuzzy4629Very true. And if you are being ‘guided’ by ancestors best believe it is witchcraft. Avoid it like the plague
@libfuzzy4629 People like you are mean spirited and hateful.
Is Alena born in uganda is she a ugandan
Welcome home to you and your beautiful family!! Enjoy your stay 🇺🇬❤❤
Thank God you all have made it safe to this part of your trip.
Thank you for taking me on your trip. Filming was Great!
I like the fact that she is so natural and minding what people think.
Your family is awesome! Alena, your driving skills and sense of direction in a foreign country are impressive! Have a safe and fun trip.
First time watching your guys! Definitely a great family to watch. Can’t wait to see all your adventures to come.
