This was our first trip where we had to buy Maddie her own seat. This posed an additional problem....there are 3 seats in an isle, but 4 family member- how should we break it up. We tried 3 on one side of the isle and one across the isle for the flight down, and it worked like magic. Perfect flight. (the way home we did 2 and 2 in seats right in front of each other - this flight was horrible- lots of crying, and misery for all. we will be going with the 3 and 1 combo for now on. Maddie was still a little sick and a lot tired which did not help either)
Luckily we did a lot in the first few days, because that was about all we had before the storm of horrible sickness came down and metaphorically rained out our vacation. The poor girls were super sick, and the poor parents (us) were exhausted from back to back to back sleepless nights. That is about all I will say about being miserable-- we have lots of great photos from the healthy days- which is nice because I had forgotten we had any days that were not sick!!
