tips for traveling...

We just got home from Disney this afternoon, which I will blog about later. For now, allow me to share a few helpful tips for traveling.

1. Do not allow your 19 month old child to sit in your lap. Suck it up and buy another seat. She will annoy both you and those around you. She will make your legs feel bruised and draw angry glares from the people sitting around you.

2. Do bring a DVD player for your 4 year old. You will not hear a peep from him.

3. Do not hoard around the plane waiting for your stroller. Do not keep your whole family with you while you wait for your stroller. Send a delegate. Do not insist on setting up your stroller, situating your child and arranging your luggage just outside the plane door. Take your stroller, child and luggage to the gate and get set up there. It is annoying, even to those of us waiting for a stroller.

It was a long day, folks. I am almost looking forward to Olivia's 2nd birthday, simply so we will be forced into buying her a seat. Pibs is crazy, we say it all the time. The kids are unconscious in their beds now though--Disney World wrecked them! All in all, a great trip!

Thanks for number one. We fly in to Orlando in March, pretty much right at Sophie's 19th month of life. And I didn't buy here a ticket. We also use terms of endearment like "crazy" to reference Sophie. This should be interesting... We can compare notes after it's all over.
