My father is self-employed and my mother works with him, so it's much easier for two adults who make their own hours to come up here, than it is for four adults - including my brother and sister-in-law, who are not the bosses at their jobs - a preschooler and, next year, an infant, to travel at the Holidays. Next year in New York!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508302421134951238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362097315751298075.post-50932216234818308722011-12-06T00:02:38.755-05:002011-12-06T00:02:38.755-05:00TSA- Thousands Standing Around.

They are the BANE of my holiday travel. <br /><br />I tried to avoid traveling at all during the holidays for about 5 years when my daughter was little. Even now, I am still tempted to stay home!Elizabeth-FlourishinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866057740157426001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362097315751298075.post-81337033519772585212011-12-05T09:50:25.319-05:002011-12-05T09:50:25.319-05:00Tori, glad I could cheer you up!

I don't have kids (though I've never had issues with any kids on planes), but I regularly travel with some "interesting" personal and medical supplies (menstrual cup, TENS unit, scheduled medications) as carry-ons. <br /><br />At this point, I probably need a T-shirt that says IT'S FOR MY VAGINA on the front. (Okay, so partly it's for my uterus, but the first one sounds funnier and is not totally false.)Torihttp://anytimeyoga.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362097315751298075.post-24558327552987996912011-12-04T19:56:52.757-05:002011-12-04T19:56:52.757-05:00Agreed!

The way other passengers and employees treat children when flying appalls me.
