Ok, so maybe not world, but we have to start somewhere, right? This weekend's trip to Denver was VERY different from our previous in flight experiences. I made some mistakes and learned some valuable lessons:
1) A CRJ-700 is not big enough for a lap child-of any age, at any time, in any size lap.
2) "killing 'em with kindness," does not always work and you may be put in the very LAST row of the plane when you ask to be seated as close to the front as possible.
3) Do not think it's worth saving $150 to fly at bedtime-it's not!
4) Every airline, every airport, and sometimes each airline agent have different policies regarding lap children, liquids, and level of helpfulness.
5) When it comes to getting bags and getting home-chivalry is LONG dead.
6) When you finally encounter an uber-helpful flight attendant (after 9 flights), she may be VERY upset when you don't allow her to help.
7) There are angels among us-one is four and his name is Levi.
8) There are a few kind-hearted people left in the world that come through just when you need them.
9) No matter how tough the journey, getting to Mee Mee, Nana, Grandpa and the Aunties is just as sweet.
10) Finally, nothing is sweeter than being home (even if it's Wichita) and reunited with your Love after 8 long days.
11) When you put on that Tarheel sweatshirt during March Madness and end up in the "special services" line behind a family of Duke fans, they will not help you as you struggle to feed a 20lb baby standing up while your stroller falls repeatedly to the ground. You just might have to ask yourself whether you'd let them help if they tried?
Oh, wow. You know I am taking notes. And can't wait to hear these stories. Beautiful photo of your house btw!
