Travel Day...

In about an hour we are heading to the airport and our journey back to Canada begins...now packing and organizing with a little one has been very stressful....now if I compare it to the adoption journey, probably a needle in a haystack compared to some of that stress...but in the past two weeks, getting to know Matteo without this stress has been good, but of course, I am worried about what will confront us and of course how he will deal with it...he loves being out and about so that is good, but when there is too much going on he gets so wound up and mommy isn't always so patient....I know he senses when I'm feeling tense so will try to stay calm...I am not the first nor will I be the last person to travel with a baby and as well I'm sure in many ways travelling with a baby is easier than travelling with a toddler....do you think I have myself convinced to stay calm...probably not....as long as we make it to the cathay agent, get our luggage sent off, get our boarding passes and then get through customs...I will be much more relaxed...I hope!!...so hopefully I will be able to update at each stop as I did not this Viaggio a Vietnam, now it will be Viaggio da Vietnam....so if there are not updates the next one will be from Canada!!....so looking forward to being home and continuing our lives together there....and of course enjoying the Christmas season too.....

  1. I was quite anxious about travelling home alone with my baby too, but the trip was WAAYY better than I expected. Molly slept for most of the trip, the flight attendants were very helpful, and Cathay provided assistance in the Hong Kong airport to make our connecting flight.

    Good luck to you and Matteo - I'm sure things will be just fine.

  3. Hoping you have a safe and as low stress a trip back as possible. Van was a super star on the way back so hopefully Matteo will be too. Cathay is a great airline. Looking forward to finally meeting your little man :)

  5. Ditto to what Catherine said. I was soooo nervous, and it was not nearly as bad as I thought. Regardless, you are on your journey home! Safe travels. Looking forward to meeting Matteo.
