Traveling!

Our trip home to Las Vegas was an adventure to say the least! I made the decision to travel alone with my two boys (my husband stayed home due to work). Yes, I know, I am as crazy as you think. We flew, but I think that only added to our troubles. Carson, who is my most highstrung was sick most of the flight from New Orleans to Las Vegas while Brandon slept. Carson went through several dirty diapers I think because he had a nervous tummy and then to top it all off he cried (more like screaming) for about an hour and 15min of our second flight and then threw-up all over himself and the isle (thank goodness) and if that wasn't enough to send me over the edge everyone was trying to 'help'. One passenger form the way back of the plane offered an extra pacifier "just in case he lost his" but unfortunatly he has never taken one, not ever! The airline attenants kept offering food to calm him, which usually works, but poor thing, he was just tired and didn't feel well. Of course there were the dirty looks from other passangers, and one time a woman turned to give a 'look' and offered her an opportunity to try to calm him down herself (maybe she could've done a better job than his own mother), but she quickly declined and never looked back again. Ou stay in Las Vegas was quite the opposite, we had a blast but that is another blog entirely. And of course on our way home it was delay after delay and we ended up spending an extra night with my parents and then finally made our way home, a day late, and exhausted. So next time we decide to go anywhere especially flying I will not do it alone! It was almost the end of my sanity!!

You are one brave woman to even have the thought of flying 2 kids way over there...by yourself. And then to actually do it. Yeah I would have lost my sanity at the airport. I'm glad you're home and everything is returning back to normal....tummies & all.

I’m so glad to have a way to check out how you are doing. I also just started my blog a few months ago. http://salimabean.blogspot.com/ and it’s been difficult for me to keep updated. Everyone seems to do it different. I’m so sorry you had such a hard time with your plane ride. I too have done it by myself with the kiddos. Once with my first to Texas and she threw up and cried and made passengers crazy. She had just turned 1. And a few years ago 5 months pregnant with my third and the other two in one seat to D.C. It was the worst thing ever! I too will think twice before I fly again with the kids. Your boys are very cute. Keep up the good work.
