Italy -Venice

Samantha always chooses her own way so I was only mildly surprised when Samantha decided that waiting in the airport in Montreal to leave for Italy would be a perfect time to start potty training! The girl I could not convince to use the potty at home used it twice in the airport before we got the plane! The flight went well. She got a bit antsy and certainly had her moments but the tv on the chair was a huge help and the headphones I had bought them for the flight worked great. Finally she fell asleep for a couple of hours before we landed in Rome. From there it was a quick flight to Venice. Once we got to Venice it was a boat ride to our hotel and then a day of trying to stay awake until a reasonable bed time! Mommy didn't sleep on the plane and it was a long day! The kids however slept off and on in the stroller all day which really helped them with the time difference. Even still it took 4 or 5 days before they weren't staying up until 10-12 at night! That actually worked out well since Italy at night is definitely where it's at!
