We are so grateful that there just happened to be an empty seat in between Cody and I for Landry to sit in during the flight. For those who will be traveling with kids in the near future, call the airline and when you set up your seating, see if this is possible when you have an infant lap child. We really lucked out because Landry took advantage of the space! He loved flying- the napping, television, games, books, window and people. He didn't cry at all and was an amazing international traveler.
Landry and Cody were happy after we got to Terminal 2 in LA, got back through security and made it to our connecting flight (we only had 1.5 hours)
Three pics of Landry enjoying the space!
Cody and Landry with about 2 hours left in the flight - poor Cody had a television screen that didn't work - so he took my seat for the end of the flight.
After arriving at Beijing, we made it through customs and were greeted by a lovely woman holding a sign that said - Welcome CCAI families! She escorted us to our hotel where we hung out for the evening, got some dinner and tried to catch up on rest. I wasn't feeling well after eating the airplane food...why did I think I could eat pork on an international flight, when I don't even eat it in the US??? Thankfully, I'm feeling a lot better this morning after pepto and some rest.
Oh Bree I love this! We are CCAI and our daughter is in Kaifeng also. We will have such a similar trip. I can't wait to follow your journey! Also, I have a video of our daughter in the orphanage and I believe your daughter is in it with her :) I will share when you get back. Have a great trip!!

Glad the flight was smooth! Landry looks like a natural traveler. Takes after his mama. I am anxiously awaiting more posts!
