Judy: I like the image of the kids helping with our luggage some day. On our next flight I’ll chant that as a mantra to get me through.

Becca, so true dat! I was going to mention that things could have been much much worse if she’d actually eaten something that day. And of course, seconds after barfing she began whining that she was starving. Good times.

Sweet baby Jesus… I have always feared the plane puke, and so far have escaped. Just think how back it would have been if they HAD eaten the pancakes

Oh, and if it makes you feel any better, on a lay over in Detroit with our then 9 month old… we ate at Chili’s where said 9 month old spilled sprite all over me and my jeans. Bags checked through to final destination, so I had to sit, soaked. Then, husband’s blackberry didn’t auto time change from EST to CST & we missed our flight. Sat in sticky wet Sprite jeans for another 2 hours before boarding a 3 hour flight home.

Glad you were able to give some humor to a hell of a day. I once began to vomit while 8 1/2 months pregnant on a flight from Boston to Houston. It was hell. The flight attendants wouldn’t even make eye contact with me as I stood guard by the lavatory to make sure it was free “just incase”. Then I had kids & for a short time flew with them. I don’t think I have the personal strength to go through it again for a while as they are only 2 & 4, especially solo!

OMG of course your trip ended with puking. It always ends with that! I too was sweating when you got to the gate.

I’m traveling to Maine with all three this weekend but now that they are all teens it is easy-peasy. Hang in there. Not only do they carry their own luggage but they will some day help you with yours. Honest.

Just wanted to say hi from a fellow New Englander and now fellow Bay Area girl I live an hour East from San Fran and was born/raised in MA.

I’ve also travelled many many many times with my kids. I have 3. It’s so (not) fun!

I found your blog via a friend on Facebook. I’m gonna go “look” around and read some more posts.
