Thanks to Ella, I also got sick before the trip. Thank goodness I had a much milder case of Hand Foot Mouth than her so I recovered relatively quickly. This was my first big vacation that involves a longer-than-one-hour-flight. Given her prior unpleasant Maui flight experience with Ella, mama was a bit worried. I turned out to be a great passenger on the plane, of course the nap, snacks and the Ipod Touch all helped! The biggest challenge of the flight was mama having to change my poopie diaper in a small plane bathroom that does not have a changing table! I took some maneuvering but it all worked out.
I enjoyed the vacation on the most part, although it took me about three days before I was willing to walk on the sand, and that is with beach shoes on. It got really windy by Thursday, and I cried on and off and was whiny on the beach. Mama got so fed up that she decided to just take me back to the room for an early nap. I enjoyed the baby pool, watching the fishes in the hotel koi pond, running around with Ella and just having fun. The best part of the trip was being able to sleep with mama for 7 days straight, both for afternoon naps and at night! I got so used to it that it took mama a week after we got back from the trip to get me to sleep by myself in the crib again!
Here are some photos from our trip, but be sure to check out the rest of them under the “Photo Albums” page.
