Flying Baby

I love the looks you get when you bring a baby on the airplane. They are always the same, slight smile with the raised eyebrows...maybe a forced giggle. I think the corresponding comment from the parent is always, "he/she was great on the flight out so hopefully it will be the same." No one ever says, "well he/she was absolute hell the last flight so lets all cross our fingers," no matter what the last flight was like.

The lady and I were in different rows on our flight last night. We planned to easily convince a passenger to swap seats sparing them the chance of a cry fest to ring in the new year but this was not so. Its hard to convince someone to move from a seat next to a mother and baby to a seat next to someone three times in width.......with a baby.

Well, we all came out unscathed and here is 2011!
