We flew to Canada last week. APL was great on the planes. We think, and hope, that he has inherited daddy's genetic insusceptibility to motion sickness. He slept, played, ate, and met the pilots. And, he was upgraded for his first-ever flight. I can't believe how much he likes hot cashews and walnuts!
After we landed in Montreal, it was a bit of a different story. As we entered the enormous stadium-sized immigration room to wait to see an immigration officer, he started wailing. Really WAILING! As I descended into the space on the escalator, approximately 300 people turned in horror to see what had shattered the relative peace that they had been enjoying. Their disapproving eyes moved from baby to parent and we smiled and moved quickly forward to join them all in line.
I tried to soothe little APL but he apparently was not happy to have left the airplane. Just then, as we joined the line, with all eyes upon us, an official parted the crowd and directed the three of us to the front of the line. It really was a Red Sea moment. Apparently crying babies are just like NEXUS passes!
There is more to tell but I have to run. Stay tuned for our missed flight, lost bags, and a daring retrieval by Karin's sister!
