Author Topic: Trip to Florida! - NFB twobratSS 2nd Gear Member # 2180 posted                       Well, I made reservations for me and Jarrett (our 3 year old boy) to fly to Florida the weekend of April 30 - May 2 to see his grandparents. I don't know if I completely understand what I'm getting myself into, but I'm sure we'll have a blast! I wanted to take the SS, but for a short weekend visit, flying would be better for us. He LOVES airplanes, and I want to spend as much time with him as I can with another baby on the way. (I'm just hoping the plane ride doesn't bother his ears too badly!) -------------------- Bryan & Missi Basse http://community.webshots.com/user/twobrats71 Posts: 361 | From: Rusk, Texas | Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged 35TH ED/ed 4th Gear Member # 1709 posted                       A little Motrin might help with the ride. When Alec was 2 we took him on his 1st plane ride and he was more intrested in the buttons above us. Needles to say all through the trip he was climbing all over me to play with them.

My wife did that once with our small boys on a flight to Houston , Arch -------------------- WV State Rep for WCC http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/TriStateCamaroClub Posts: 175 | From: West Virginia | Registered: Jul 2001  |  IP: Logged HotWheelSS aka HTWLSS SSOA Director Member # 117 posted                       Talk to your Dr. about a decongestant. Since 3 might be a little young for chewing gum, a juice box, sports bottle or tipee cup that he has to suck on to get the liquid out will help him keep his ears clear. It'll also help him since flying tends to dehydrate.

I flew a LOT as a child (Navy Brat), but as a father, I'm kinda worried about how I'll do with him. We're flying into Jacksonville, my parents live in Palatka (halfway between Jax and Daytona, inland about 20 miles west of St. Augustine). -------------------- Bryan & Missi Basse http://community.webshots.com/user/twobrats71 Posts: 361 | From: Rusk, Texas | Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged
