Air travel

I despise air travel and I have to fly this evening, from a rainy and crappy place to a snowy and crappy place.

On the other hand, this is my last plane trip for a long time that won't involve any diapers, strollers, car seats or cheerios.

So I guess I'll just have to enjoy it now...

Planes use to be somewhat relaxing. Forget about that going forward. Besides the increased amount of crap you need which really doesn't bother me that much. It now becomes "Fuck you, dad, ENTERTAIN me!" (in the spirit of your blog tagline)

1 - Buy a portable DVD player. That bought us an hour, at least, each way from Atlanta to Chicago for our 2 year old at the time.
2 - For that lone plane ride that she's had, she was doing good but couldn't understand why we were taxiing forever. She kept on saying "Here we go. C'mon guys, here we go. Mommy why aren't we in the air?".
3 - And the finale, as she chose to sit on my wife's lap on the flight back and wound up peeing through her diapers and onto Megan's jeans.
Good times. :)

Having flown a few times in the past six months, I find that babies aren't as much of a bother now, but more the toddler-pre adolescent children.

I think those DVD players are a god-send. Is it ok to give kids melatonin? That stops me from running up and down the asile, causing a felony!
