One of the hardest things preparing the kids for the trip was explaining that it is safe to travel by air when the news was full of the missing Malaysian Airline flight. Despite reassurances that everyone would now be extra security and safety conscious Aaron was still anxious about flying.
So I was a tad surprised that he was the one who after the first flight was leading the way at the airports - showing us where we needed to go next, finding our gates and first to the baggage claims to get our cases.
It was on the last leg from LA to NY that the reason why came to light - the first flight I had sat with him. Aaron was as usual plugged into the screen from the minute he sat down, and as the attendants started their safety briefing he commented that he really liked this video. I leaned over to see his screen expecting to see Disney channel, but it was the safety video. This explanation of all the safety procedures had reassured him that should anything happen there was a plan in place! Thanks Qantas!
And while on the subject of Qantas - I always say that my ideal holiday is one where I don't have to thin about planning or preparing meals. For 24 hours Qantas fed my family, and cleared up after them! Mummy bliss! I wonder if they will deliver to our campsite......
