Jonah is such a great traveller, I must say. He did very well on the plane - and twenty hours is a lot of travel time for an adult, let alone a little guy! He slept anywhere between three and four hours on both trips, to Prague and back. Not much, but when we got to our destinations, he adjusted to the nine-hour time difference better than Tim and I. My worst fear was that Jonah would have a screaming/crying meltdown on the plane or that he wouldn't sit still and would want to run around like a little devil. Neither one of my fears came true. Sure, there were a couple of times I thought, "Here we go" when he started to bawl, but those were very short lived, thank goodness. The most surprising thing was that Jonah was content on our laps and in our arms the whole time on the plane!!! He traveled as a lapchild, afterall - meaning he didn't have a seat of his own. With all the flying we've done to Montana, California, and Europe in the past year, Jonah has become a seasoned traveller. I think he would do a better job hosting a travel show than Rick Steeves who sucked last time I heard his show on NPR. That's it: Travel for Toddlers with Jonah B - awesome idea!
As far as transportation goes, Jonah even enjoyed the tram and subway rides in Prague. So much to look at. And the Czechs actually erased their scowls for a brief moment and smiled at him. Quite a power he has.
Since our trip, Jonah's been obsessed with planes, finding pictures of them everywhere and pointing up at the sky, saying "pain," meaning "plane." I think our next trip will be to New York sometime in the spring to visit Auntie.
