  1. That 70's show : Stoned Need a new one : home
  2. That sounds like a good idea. During take off and landing, they will have to hold him in their arms and hug him chest to chest, then during the flight he can sit with whoever (as long as there is an extra mask for him in the over compartment) and move free. Bring a couple fav toys or activities for him and he should be good. If he likes to watch movies, they could take a portable DVD player with them and a couple of his fav movies.
  3. Gravol can be used for a few different things. It's main use is for upset stomachs although it relaxes and calms a lot of people. I am one of those who relax and get sleepy if I take it. There a lot of people that take it if they are flying somewhere, and many who wll give their kids Gravol if they are flying or going on long trips in the car. Adults take pill form, but there is liquid form for kids. If you go to the pharmacy, they should be able to help you find it. Here it is behind the counter, but you don't need a prescription for it. This will be the first time for Justin to fly, and us having 2 kids to take, so it could be fun, but I already have the Gravol packed in the travel bag! Maybe find out from your FSIL what it is exactly that she is upset about. Then you can let her know about the Gravol and she may calm down more. Is he a good traveller in the car?
  4. Wow, you definately have reasons for stress in your life right now. Stress is not a very nice thing and effects everyone differently. I wish that I was one of those people that lose weight because of stress, but I am the opposite. Glad to hear that your daughter's tests are good so far, and that yours are also looking good. Hopefully things will start looking up pretty right away. Once the wedding is over and you start your new job, that should get rid of a lot of stress.
  5. We have taken Hailey on several flight before she was 2 years old. This will be her first trip we have to actually pay for her to go on. When she was 6 months old, we took her to Victoria which was about 90 mins. Then when she was 10 months old we went to the Dominican. It was about an 8 hour flight and we stopped in Puerto Plata on the way down and had to get off the plane for about 45 mins before getting back on to go to Punta Cana. On the way back it was non-stop. Then we went to Disneyland when she was 18 months old and we flew from Edmonton, stopped in Calgary to pick more people up before flying to San Francisco where we had to switch planes to fly down to LA. Coming home we left LA and flew to Phoenix where we had an extended lay over due to a late plane, then stopped in Calgary to drop people off before coming home. Then there was Cuba when she was 22 months and we stopped in Calgary to pick people up before the 6 hour flight and on the way back we stopped in Calgary again. With all these trips she did great. The only time that she was ever really fussy was when we were first leaving Edmonton because it was a late night and early morning. I just give her a dose of Gravol and now she settles really well on the plane to have a nap. Once she has a sleep, she is fine and like to look out the window and visit with everyone else. The take off and landing never bothered her at all. Does your nephew have a soother still? When Hailey was younger I gave her that to suck on, but when we went to Disneyland and Cuba she didn't have it. Another option if she is worried about his ears is to give him a sippy cup to suck on! It really isn't that bad on the kids and I am sure that he will do great, especially if he has a bit of Gravol either just before the flight or if he is getting fussy on the flight.
  6. Those look like great bags! Wish we had a target up here.
  7. I will be doing this one. Hopefully the fact that it will be done just before we leave for our wedding will be motivation for me this time.
  8. Congrats on getting your date booked. That is always a great feeling!
  9. I like the idea of the champagne coloured dress or a chocolate brown.
  10. Glad you were able to find a dress that you felt great in. Off to check it out now.
  11. Does anyone have any wedding prep that they are doing this week &/or weekend? I have my MRI tomorrow then I have to come back and work nights, then start my normal shifts on Fri until Tues. Not sure how much I will get done, but I really want to try to get the bath bombs done so they are out of the way, and I want to try to work on the soaps too, and then decide if I am putting them in the OOT bags for sure or not.
  12. Welcome to the forum Crystal. I am also going to be a Grand Palladium bride, but we are going to Punta Cana, not the Mayan Riveria. I have had family that was at that resort though and loved it, and they saw a wedding on the beach and said that it was beautiful!

  20. I was gone for the weekend and out of touch with reality I guess you could say, as I didn't hear about this until now. This is such a horrible situation. I feel for all the families that are affected by this. We have had a few train wrecks around here in the past 25 years, some causing a lot of death and injuries, one only killing 2 as it was a freight train colliding with a run away rail car, and a passenger train that was very luck to only have minor injuries after getting hit by a semi.
  21. Glad to hear that things are going fairly good for you Denise. Obviously it would be better to have the power and still have carpet but it could have been much worse. You still get to login to BDW too!
