I'd take that any day than sit at home and miss out on it. Some of those TSA agents have a real power trip going. Oooh, they're so important. Whatever. I love your take on things, and am happy to have found your blog:) Debbie Ferm It is so true that you will find yourself in some gross, uncomfortable situations while you are hauling your kids around the world, but I agree that it is worth it.

My attitude with the kids and bad situations in travel is "this too shall pass." An hour really isn't that much time, and although it can seem endless when leaking bodily fluids are involved in reality it's going to be a small portion of your time on the road. (Says she who is about to fly solo with her four-year-old. Let's see how sage and calm I am at the end of our flight.) I like the song.

Does this include things like an iPod or a book? Do you have to to just SIT there with your hands in your lap for an hour? Then it won't just be the KIDS going crazy for an hour. ACK!!

What am I going to do when they can't play with their DS during the last hour?? I don't know but like you, I won't change my travel plan. I just hope that other passengers will be as understanding to other family traveling with kids. Thanks for the song! :)

I traveled with kids (1 1/2 and 4 1/2 yrs old) from California to Costa Rica about a year ago. My son managed to fall and need stitches during our layover on the way out. On the way back we got delayed for 2 hrs (long story), so my daughter didn't get to nap when she needed it and lost it during take off until I could get up and walk around with her. Both incidents totally sucked and I hope never to repeat them again. But the time we spent in Costa Rica was priceless. I wouldn't have traded no stitches and an easy nap for us not having that experience. Thanks for helping prod all of us to get out there a little bit more. Thanks for the laugh.
