For the last 3 months Ottavia almost everyday spoke of her soon to be airplane ride. We played airplane ride, pretended to buckle our seat belts, she noticed every plane in the sky, we really made a point of getting her excited!
Airplane Ride day arrived. We were off to a very early start. Evening though we arrived at the airport 2 hours ahead of flight, we were still rushed. Customs and security line up's were super busy. We pre-boarded and i Cavi wiped everything down and got settled in.
Long story short, my worst flying experience ever, a 3 hours flight turned into 6 hours with a re route landing due to weather.....worst, thought we were going down for sure turbulence...turned into a very positive experience with Ottavia. She LOVED it :) we had one issue where she didn't want to wear her seatbelt and she was super pissed for about 5 minutes but that ended quickly. It was all about chips and ipad and juice but whatever. She loved it. Thank god through rough part she slept through it. I looked over at Tino he was green. I thought for sure he would puke but he didn't, I was more scared for my life emailing my mother!
On a side note...if you youtube a crosswind landing...well we basically landed sideways then starting moving forward...
We arrived in florida at 1030 pm instead of 3pm so needless to say we were tired and hungry and ready to settle in.
As for the flights home, no problems, everything was on schedule, and Ottavia slept 2 of the 3 hour flight. when we landed she sat up and said home now :) Here are a few pictures!
Gosh, you are all troopers! No pictures of Tino looking green? ; )
