I’m on my flight back from Vancouver to Toronto, then on to London. I have to say, this trip went really well!
On the flights to Vancouver both girls were excellent, the only time it got a bit hairy was when Lucy was in need of a nap. Our arrival went off without a hitch and my big brother was waiting for us as soon as we arrived.
Right now we are halfway through the first flight of the day. Odette napped for an hour and a half, I suspect Lucy will sleep soon. If she doesn’t she might be a bit wild, but it would be an easy way to adjust to the 3 hour time difference.
The trip itself was fantastic. The weather cooperated for us and we had quite a bit of sunshine. The girls both transitioned to the time difference right away and they behaved fantastic. This has been reassurance that my husband and I are doing something right.
My best advice for travelling with kids? Believe in their ability to be versatile.
