It is exciting and challenging for me to bring both kids to China alone. I started to prepare Olivia three weeks in advance and kept telling her that we are going to travel to China, which means we will be away from Pappa for a while. At the same time, I want her to understand she has to help me to take care Lovisa, or at least cooperate and stay away from making trouble.
I had a great luck that Leifang and William are on the same plane. She has been very helpful with luggage and Lovisa.
At Arlanda. (we talked about hopefully one day we, two families, can travel together in China)
A short while after the plane took off, both fell asleep quite quick. Stewardess was very nice to me and I got the whole line of seats myself. Kids slept on each side of me. Poor me, did not sleep even for 1 second the whole flight. The good thing is when I travel with kids, time went so fast.
After the plane landed, Olivia suddenly vomited a lot. I changed clothes for her, including underwear. It is always smart to bring extra clothes for them. You never know what they are capable of.
We arrived.
I am the last one to get on the plane and also the last one to get off the plane. Olivia behaved really good, walk herself, eat and drink herself, fall asleep herself. She earned the respect from me during the trip. Stewardess thought both kids are so cute that they give one toy each to them, with AirChina’s logo on. Olivia named her toy Ninni.
All in all, the trip is very nice and I enjoyed traveling with them, even though I got very exhausted. I have very much confidence in myself or belief in them, we take care of each other in the trip, they are the best or we are the best as a team!
