Flying with a baby

Martin enjoying his time in the crib, keeping his fellow passengers awake.

Yesterday, me and my wife took our son for his first longer trip: we're spending six weeks in Vietnam. We got here from Gothenburg with a 2 hour flight to Paris followed by a 12 hour flight to Ho Chi Minh city, my wife's hometown. We dreaded the long flight but it turned out not to be that bad.

We had brought some toys and snacks but that's pretty much all of the preparation. A note to next time is to also bring some teething sticks that he can chew on and some more children books. Martin is very close to walking so maybe the flight home will bring on some new challenges. Now we have six weeks ahead of us with the goal to eat as much phỏ as possible.
