Today was the bginning of our vacation to Florida.
Today would be an entire day of traveling. I am not much for traveling and
really dislike flying...big time. I get motion sickness and I get really
anxious during any turbulence. Our flight schedule was nice, we didn’t have to
leave home at an unbearable hour. Our first flight was 11:30Am from Des Moines
to Atlanta. We had to split up on the plane. I sat with Luke and stayed calm
and relaxed for him and tried to make it seem fun. He was pretty unsure and
once we took off, evey slight lift, he would grab me. He did not stop squeezing
my hand until the plane was level and steady. He had sweaty hands and you could
see he was nervous. I got out the books and games to get his mind of things.
During landing, he squeezed me pretty hard and hid his face in my arm. And to
think we were going to do it all over again. Inside the Atlanta airport, we
were glad to have had our handy stroller, we just stuck Luke in and away we went.
His little legs would have slowed us down. We took a tram and get to
our gate, which the boys thought was cool. We grabbed a quick snack and it was time to board again. This time we
had a bigger plane. Jayden and I sat on each side of Luke. He took both our
hands and wrapped them across his body as he held us during take-off. Once in
the air and smooth, he would relax. Fortunately we did not have turbulence. It
was around 6:00 when we arrived to our resort by way of the Disney Magical
express bus. We could have gotten there sooner if I had not been waiting to
pick up our luggage that Disney had already taken care of and delivered right
to our room. Oops. It was a breath of fresh air to walk through our resort. It
was so lovely and nice out. We had dinner at the resort and walked around the
area before heading to bed. OUr resort is Port Orleans Riverside along water. There were fancy buildings and pretty bridges. Everyone was so excited it was hard to get to sleep
and was around 10:30PM.
