The holy grail, an empty seat |
I must be insane because I just flew with my toddler, and a sinus infection, from one side of the world to the other.
Part of me can’t believe we made it, really I should just be proud of myself….and my Mom who met up with us in LA. That last little leg of the journey is the worst (if you call California to New York 'little') and that extra pair of hands is invaluable.
The downsides were intense and plentiful. There were moments when I wanted to cry or when I thought my head would explode from sinus pressure. I wanted to give up but it's kind of hard when you're already in that big tin bird in the sky. Like a jail sentence, we were committed to seeing it out.
Know what else sucks? When your kid is sick, tired, and flipping out, passengers expect you to handle it...or at least act like you are trying when you are actually helpless.

Good work you made it! I remember a huge difference flying with a cute baby that everyone wanted to entertain and then later a busy toddler that no one wanted anything to do with. Sigh!
Phew, you are a trooper! Have a fab time in the US x
Why are toddlers so terrifying to everyone? Wait...I know the answer to that question. Haha!
Thanks Clare! We are enjoying ourselves now that the hardest part is behind us...and I'm choosing not to think about the return at this point in time. 😉
