Me and the wifey will be taking an 15 hour flight to Korea from TX- then a 6 hour flight from Korea to the Philippines next month, with our rowdy dynamo of a 2 year old son.
I'm tripping balls cause my boy can't sit still for 30 minutes without destroying shit and climbing over everything.

I'm seriously tripping on what we're about to deal with next month....

أَبَانَا الذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ،
لِيُقَدَّسَ اسْمُكَ.
لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ،
لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا السَّمَاءِ.
ارْزُقْنَا خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَ يَوْمِنَا،
وَ اعْفُ عَنْ خَطَايَانَا،
فَإِنَّنَا نَعْفُو عَمَّنْ يُخْطِئُونَ بِحَقِّنَا.
لاَ تُعَرِّضْنَا لِلغِوَايَةِ،
بَلْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الشِّرِيرِ.
فَلَكَ المَلَكُوتُ وَ الجَبَرُوتُ وَ المَجْدُ أَبَداً.
 
Thanks, Tomax. We chanted, we ate snacks, we watched ipad. He handled it like a champ.

Something funny happened, though. I took him to the bathroom to change him, and as he is running up the aisle, he grabs a very large black man in first class, who I recognize as one of the Pittsburgh Steelers(our departing airport). So, being friendly, the gentleman says "Hey little guy" to which my two year old says "Why did you guys suck so much this year and why do you make my daddy cry and yell at the tv?" Ok, he didn't say that, he just giggled and continued running. I have to lookup which steeler it was, but I am sure he was a steeler, I just can't remember which one.

Preboard or no? -and did it work out?

Just curious.

It has no affect on my opinion of NONSENSE -who I consider an awesome poster regardless.:redface:

We did not pre-board simply because we did not have time. We grabbed some food and everyone was going to the bathroom when pre-boarding was going on.

He was very excited to see the plane, then to get on the plane. In all the rush, I forgot I am not crazy about flying.
