First Plane Ride

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Wednesday, August 17, 2011
All I can say is BRAVE. Its not my first choice to travel with Miss Lily. Its not that I am completely afraid to take her...but I also get air sick...So its a bit of a double whammy for me. So my first solution to the problem was to fly my mom here so she could fly with us! Yup. Im a chicken and will not fly for the first time with Lily ALONE. Nope. I have also decided if the flight is totally rough someone will be flying home with me to help! ha ha. I am only going to Reno which of course is a super fast 1 hour and 20 min flight. How bad could it be right? My clients today flew with TWO kids from Germany more than once. So I am thinking I am not allowed to complain. So instead I am going to try and be as prepared as I can, try not to stress and hope for the best. Maybe Lily will Love air travel? You never know. Miss finicky (dont ask me where she got that from) can be a bit of a pill at times so I am just praying I am not the one on the place with the screaming child. If all else fails....I have about 10 FREE drink coupons for Southwest. I think I will just pass them to everyone sitting near so they can all get drunk and then they wont notice? Or at least it will be good Karma.

Any advice for traveling with baby? Besides bringing my mom along that is! LOL

AND, sorry Miss Jamie, no drugging up my grandbabies, nope! :)
Destiny has Wed & Thurs off, in the event of an extreme emergency, (aka Mommy melt-down)"necessary" double-team on way home, LOL!
And finally,YOU, SHE and(THEY-all other airplane passengers brave enought to fly because a crying baby might be aboard), I am pretty sure they wont kick you and Lily off the plane, (if you get em drunk, they might just p on you...) will be fine, trust me I have done this SO many times, and with 2 kids and not to/from Germany, but more than 1hr 20 minute flights for sure.

I am not a DR, but I hope you got a new one :)
I have never flown with kids that distance, it might have made me have wished I could drug someone...however...I don't think I could do it.
