This trip was no exception. Usual last minute jitters (literally, have you unplugged the microwave), running to Ray next door to hand over the keys and swearing poetically (bloody shit) when stuck on the citylink at 11am, paying a toll and still driving at 30 kmh. We even managed to almost leave passports and tickets at home, I kid you not.
Anyway, I think N knew we were up to something as she had refused to sleep the night before and was fairly fidgety all morning. Seeing a 5 month old fidget is like watching a person with movement disorder. She would be, in cycle, looking at her hand (both sides) then arcing her back, and then stretching her left arm upwards. And repeat.
Hey look, something over there
For the first couple of hours on the flight she was unsettled. I was praying it would not be too much more than the first 30 mins. I looked forward to watching Son of Rambow. But the unsettledness meant I did not swipe my card and watched the flight path for 4 hours.
Plenty of leg room on these new flights
Deepti spent most of the first two hours after take off on her feet pacing up and down the aisle. Some sleeps were short but finally exhaustion kicked in and she slept for a good 45 minutes on the spare seat. Round one to flying on day flights! The flight attendants even took Naina up to the front of the plane for a while.
Mum and Dad were extremely excited to see Naina. I think we were the "extras" on the set. Judging by many baby photos with grandparents, this is a common theme.
