I am travelling to France by myself with Anais. I am expecting it to be pretty hard to handle her alone plus the jet lag and indeed it is. First she skips her nap because we’re in line during her nap time. Then she hates to be cooped up on the plane and wants to go, then we’re sitting next to a gal who obviously hates kids and gives me the evil eye and calls the flight attendants over regularly to complain about me. Ugh one of THOSE people. The good side—they’ve given me business class! And I just happen to sit next to a totally sweet couple from Sonoma county on the OTHER side, who obviously have had kids and help me out a lot. Including holding my bags for me when my stroller is lost and I have to carry the baby all the way to baggage claim. Oh and to top it all off, at the end he hands me his card because it just so happens he hires teachers in my husband's area. Isn’t that a great example of the Yin/Yang of life on either side of one seat on a plane… After the 24+ hours en route, what a relief it is to finally lay down our heads in our nice smelling house in the South of France. I can’t wait for morning to check out the house and feel the warm weather and see our friendly neighborhood.
