17 hours of travel and still full of grins and giggles!


Me and my Mom headed out to get my passport stamped. We are headed to Switzlerand for an entire month. We are going to see my Nomie (thats my aunte and her 3 girls). We had a long day ahead of us traveling all the way across the ocean. My Dad was sad to see us go but he will be coming next week. We left our house at 6am and landed in Switzerland at 8am (thats about 17 hours of travel, I know my Mom is so brave).
Our first flight was about 4 hours to D.C. We managed to get a free seat next to us and I flirted with the lady behind us the entire flight. It was so exciting that I didn't want to nap. We finally got to D.C. and everyone that sat next to us paid my Mom lots of compliments for me being so good. I thought phew we're done with this travel thing. Just to find out we were headed for another plane. We loaded up on a huge plane and got so lucky again with an entire row free. We spread out and got ready for another long flight (this one was 9 hours long). Mom says that the way there is always easier because you are so excited to get there.
My Mom nursed me during take off and it was supposed to help with the pressure in my ears. It must have because I was a happy camper. It entertained myself with these cool buttons on the handle of the seat. And this nice lady gave me all kind of cool things to play with like cups and pretzel wrappers. There was a nice old lady that would hold me everytime my Mom had to use the restroom. I giggled almost the entire flight and only took a 2 hour nap. My Mom said I was such a big girl. She was so proud of me for being such a good traveler.
This is just the beginning! I must be a traveler at heart.
