Also I agree with you 100% I don't let me son kick the sits or be overly annoying for no reason but I will never see them again so I don't care if they judge me for letting him snack the whole time or walk around the aisle a time or twoKendra Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017412068063061010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9049214408335620905.post-91056683612340252942015-01-14T12:33:32.474+09:002015-01-14T12:33:32.474+09:00Great tips!

It's really great to be someplace new and feel like you already know someone there. Being new is hard, even as an adult! <br />And as a regular traveler, I second you in saying that you need to do what you know is best for you and your kids when you travel. I have to remind myself that I'll probably never see anyone on the plane again besides my family, so I need to worry about them and not what other people think of my parenting. That being said, I do my best to make sure that my kids aren't the annoying ones, whining and kicking seats :)<br />Amber at OurCharmedLife.netAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592227803635297874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9049214408335620905.post-15169830179224625152015-01-14T07:34:50.669+09:002015-01-14T07:34:50.669+09:00Yes we were not happy!

He called that night and said he forgot but later we found out that he didn't have a car so instead of arranging for someone else to meet us he just left us. Luckily we had an awesome friend that already lived here that met us just in case he didn't show since he had been flaky the entire process.

I'm sure that it made the move so much more difficult.

We started getting rid of things in our home way ahead of time and It is not only therapeutic but it helps you to have a fresh start when you get there and makes you be able to fit into the much smaller spaces! I never thought about the fact that it translates to Ex-pats living abroad as well! Thanks for reading Rachel!

Also, the fact that we started getting rid our our houseful of stuff about 8 months before we moved so there was no last minute rush to get rid of everything!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.com
