New Zealand 2019

12 hour flight, and not a single open seat on the plane. Our sweet Florence girl charmed the people working at the boarding desk and had us upgraded to Economy Plus so at least Jason could sit without being completely scrunched up. Florence slept for about 4 hours (broken up into 3 naps) during this flight. She watched Finding Nemo multiple times and discovered a love for Paw Patrol. She shared her time on our laps and really did very well despite the small amount of sleep. I, on the other hand, had an anxiety attack at hour 2 of this flight and Jason worked hard to take care of Florence and I. Turns out on long flights with a baby love lopoks like ordering more water for your spouse, fast forwarding dumb airplane tv ads when their hands are full of toddler and replugging the headphones 800 times due to toddler wiggling. When we landed and were allowed to stand up Florence stood up and cheered, which made people around us laugh. She was so pumped she tried to give everyone high fives and fist bumps as they left the plane. And then we had to wait for our bags and that was too much for her little toddler heart to handle. She did a great job and was just too tired for waiting. Within seconds of getting into the rental car she was snoring.Läs mer
