We made it to California

Okay, so we got here almost a week ago but I've been too lazy and engrossed in my Twilight books to update the blog. Our traveling went okay, the drive up to Charlotte was no big deal, my dad helped us check our bags (free of charge, always nice to know the right people) and get through security and board the plane. Bailey was an absolute angel in his travel bag, only he kept tipping it over, which was funny, but he seemed to like laying in it when it was on it's side better anyway. The "fun" began before takeoff when we were slightly delayed due to some seating issues. Brian decided that kicking the seat in front of him was the most fun he could think of, and laughing the whole time, kicked the seat over and over with pleasure. I held his legs down off and on throughout the flight hoping to inflict less kicks on the poor man's seat in front of us. Holding down his legs caused him to start kicking, hitting, and scratching me, and of course screaming and flailing about. We fought like this for the first 4.5 hours of the flight. The last half hour he was so exhausted, he stopped caring and starred out the window as the lights of Los Angeles went by beneath. He wanted nothing to do with the various toys and entertainment items I packed for him. Everything ended up on the floor more times than I could count. The only thing he did happily was eat but of course he couldn't eat for 5 hours straight although I would have let him if he wanted just to keep him quiet. Luckily the people next to us had two small children, one of which was a total angel, but their baby cried off and on the whole flight and was actually slightly more annoying than Brian, if that's possible. Also, the poor man in front of Brian and his wife were so nice and sweet about the whole thing, thank god. I'm glad we made it but I am not looking forward to flying back in January. At least I won't have Bailey with me, I wonder if I could fit Brian into his bag.....
