Flying Southwest Airlines With A Baby
We’re fortunate enough to be within a reasonable driving distance from Buffalo airport, so we’re able to take advantage of the almost laughably cheap airfares that peeps South of the 49th parallel enjoy. This is the 2nd year in a row that we’ve chosen to fly Southwest to get to Florida, and if airfares remain what they are with Canadian carriers, I doubt we’ll head to FLA from Pearson ever again. The airfare for all 3 of us is the cost of one seat on either major Canadian airline.

Flying With Babies And Young Children During H1N1
I’m not normally a clean freak but after I had my daughter, I was definitely more cautious about keeping surfaces clean, and became much more vigilant about hand washing. Plain ol’ soap and water is our usual weapon of choice, but when we’re out and about, hand sanitizer does the trick and, of course, wipes. When they’re tiny, you can pretty much control what they touch, but keep an eye out for well-meaning people who fuss and coo AND touch baby’s hands. Why oh why do they do that?

Boobs On A Plane
Ever since the goofy movie “Snakes On A Plane” was released, travel writers far and wide have come up with their own variation of the title for a piece they’ve written. I am no exception. One of my most popular articles is called Toddler On A Plane, and I was inspired to write it after the 2nd flight we took with our daughter when she was no longer content to be held on a lap.
The inspiration for this particular post comes from Julie Cole from over at the Mabelhood – her hilarious post Have Breasts, Will Travel, caught my eye for obvious reasons and I laughed out loud at the end.
