It's booked - a much needed escape from the winter that hasn't begun yet!!
It has been four years since we have been able to get back to Florida - the place where our story into wedded bliss began. It was on the beautiful Fort Myers beach where Luke presented me with a beautiful family heirloom, and proceeded to ask me to be his wife. I will never forget that trip - it was one of the best vacations of my life, if you don't include the 4 hour boat right from hell that involved losing our dinner. Though I had known long before that trip that Luke was my forever, he was always adamant that he wouldn't get married until 30, so I thought we had a few more years of living in sin in front of us. What a great surprise it was to find out that he had changed his mind.
Fast forward to January of 2014, and we are so excited to have a chance to return to the area. However, I must say I am also incredibly petrified. It will be the first time we navigate flying with a toddler. I know that there are people everywhere that do it all the time - truly, I am not convinced any of them have a toddler as busy and stubborn as mine. However, for those of you that have braved this adventure, please - I BEG OF YOU - share your secrets. What worked, and what didn't - what do you recommend, and what would you never do again? And, when January rolls around please say a prayer for us!
Plenty of snacks and items to keep them busy. Don't try to corral them to the seat. Let them play on the floor if needed. Take necessary trips to the bathroom. Movies or anything you can think of to keep them occupied. If you have a layover. Find the play areas in the airport to let them blow off some steam. Bring extra clothes, and plastic bags in case they throw up on take off but more importantly on landing. get prepped for the decent with the bag and some paper towels just in case. :)
