Veronica & I flew back together and wow, did we have a crazy trip! My mantra for the trip was to ask for all the help I needed!!
We had a flight from JFK to London and then went from London to Dubai. The first flight was great. V slept a ton and the cabin was pretty empty.
Then, things got a little crazy. When we got off the plane, I found out that they checked our stroller all the way through to Dubai. THANK GOD I had our baby bjorn! Otherwise I don't think I would have been able to do it! A representative from the airport asked me if I wanted help getting to the next flight. I'm so happy I said yes! We had to take a train and then a shuttle to the plane, which was located in the middle of the airport tarmac. It was so stressful...considering that I only had 25 minutes to do it! I was sweating so much but kept telling myself that it was ok because it ment I was burning calories :)
The second flight was packed but Miss V did a great job in clearing out our row on the plane! She started screeching like crazy. One guy who was supposed to sit next to us flat out REFUSED and was moved to a different part of the plane! A flight attendant asked the guy on the other side of us if he wanted to move and he said yes!
V didn't sleep at all on the plane but she was a good girl. I did a lot of playing and activities with her. It felt like a long 7 hours but I was happy that we would be in Dubai soon. When we finally landed, I hired a guy to help me with our bags and we were able to finally get to Aaron!
I was so lucky that the British Airways staff was so helpful as well as the other random acts of kindness that we received from other passangers. We are back in Dubai safe and sound! :)
