At best it is a crap shoot (pun intended) because the changes in cabin pressure, and the stress I feel about traveling with the kids, packing, parking, flying, getting to our gates, boarding passes, documentation, eating, restroom stop planning, and so much more all does a real number on my guts. And I’m not a fan. Also, the allure of traveling quickly evaporates once you realize you aren’t flying first class, or being chauffeured around in limousines, and have no personal chef, not Nanny to carefully watch over your young grade school aged children.
Luxury travel only applies to the mega rich, or those traveling without children, or their families. Regardless of how the stress makes my body react, we had a wonderful time getting my side of the family together for the first time in nine years. Some family members were meeting for the first time, and briefly at that. Some is better than none!
I took a much needed four hour long nap yesterday, plus an extra hour somewhere in between. I was still able to get to bed around eleven pm, and wake up (mostly) with my alarms. My youngest refused to nap after our 7:11 am landed flight yesterday, and she crashed out hard at 8:00 pm. Did not want to wake up this morning. I don’t blame her. If I didn’t desperately need to pee, I would not have gotten up either!
Now we are back home, settling back into our routines, and I have work to do. I can foresee being interrupted a whole bunch throughout the day today by my innards disagreeing with me on every single choice I make. No matter, life continues on .
