I am flying by myself. I have not flown without kids since, well, since I had them! That doesn't mean we haven't flown -- Alaina is up to probably over 50 individual flights and the boys proportionately less. I tell ya...flying with kids is soooo different. My kids are GREAT with flying...we have rarely had a bad experience. But, I would never say that it was FUN. Just getting checked in and through security is enough to make you change your travel plans. But oh my...this morning, I was through check-in AND security in less than TEN minutes! And, to make my morning even better, there is free wireless internet in the airport (where I am now, waiting for my flight and thinking that maybe I should grab something to eat before my 3+ hour flight). I can't believe I can sit here quietly, not chasing anyone through the lounge or taking anyone to the bathroom. No stroller tags to get. No seats to change (why oh why do airlines not get that a 2 year old CANNOT sit by themselves and that they HAVE to seat families together???)
It's going to be a good trip. Off to find some breakfast :)
Ahhhhh - pure happiness! Good for you - I hope you made it to Chi town safe and sound and are enjoying your time! This was a pleasant suprise to see a post!
