We spent the night in Fargo and then flew out the next morning. Overall everything went very smoothly (with hardly any minutes to spare!) and we arrived in Detroit unscathed.
Alia did FANTASTIC! We calculated that this was her 7th & 8th trip on an airplane (not counting all the connecting flights, etc.) and has always been a very good traveler! I was a little nervous to take a VERY energetic 19 month old in a VERY enclosed space for hours and hours on end... so needless to say was quite relieved that she did well!
Watching the airplanes and giving Mommy a very enthusiastic report any time something went "up"!!!
Watching for Daddy to come back with our latest "free ticket voucher" news - when all was said and done we didn't get them... but it was fun to dream how we would use them if we did!
Lukey was on his best behavior the whole day!
But the return trip was something else! Poor Alia was getting some nasty teeth in so the first 2 1/2 hour flight was more than she could take. She has never screamed that much or been so out of it before, and there was nothing we could do to take away her pain. We just kept trying to force water down her... thus forcing her to swallow... but it did nothing. I'm SO glad Jon was there and that I wasn't traveling with her on my own. I was a wreck. First I thought she was just being disobedient and was trying to have stern talks with her about being quiet, etc... then we realized she was just in lots of pain... and that made me bawl like a baby, because I was so helpless! Oh were we ever thankful to touch land! The second (literally) that we were in normal air pressure she fell asleep and stayed that way for hours!
