You Can Survive an Airplane Flight with Little Ones!
Part 1: The Airport Experience {with Kids!}
I've talked to many parents who avoid taking far-away vacations with their families for two main (and legitimate) reasons:
(1) They dread the experience of negotiating the airport with the kids and
(2) They worry about how the kids will behave during the actual flight. I can totally understand the anxiety associated with both experiences, but if you take the processes one step one at a time, it really becomes do-able, and you'll thank yourself for it when you're relaxing on the beach or admiring the Sistine Chapel later that week!
When I started this post, I had planned to discuss the airport AND flight experiences in the same post, but after I started, I realized that's just too much info for one post. So today is PART ONE of
SURVIVING THE FLIGHT: The Airport Experience. FYI, I'm about to throw a lot of info out there, so this may be a "Pin Now, Read Later" post for you ;)
