Janelle's Overseas Trip - BKK 29 April to 02 May 11

We flew the first time with Janelle in tow. We wanted to bring her overseas but could not decide on where we should go. The trip has to have a short flight and food must be suitable for a todder. BKK seems to fit the bill and there was a promotion for the air tickets there! BKK it was!

Packing a luggage with a todder is also not an easy thing to do. We had to ensure that she has sufficient food and diapers. Had to think about alternative food which we can bring over just in case she refuses to eat the food over there. We ended up with two huge luggages when we usually will need one!

We were lucky that Janelle was pretty cooperative during the flight, she just fall asleep whenever the plane is cruising along the runway and wakes up 30 mins before we reach our destination. I will say that our airport is the best! The presence of the baby stroller at the departure hall was something that really helped parents who are travelling. She was willing to be strapped in her seat while we have our meals at the airport. This aid us as there were no baby chairs around in the restuarant. Or maybe its just the one I went to.

Upon reaching the hotel, Janelle immediately checked out the bed! She just simply climbed onto the bed and made herself comfortable! Placing herself on the bed with the pillows for support, she just laid there while we busied ourselves unpacking the luggage and preparing to go for dinner! Talking about enjoying life. I think Janelle knows more about that compared to either of us.

Whenever we go to BKK it was either for work or a shopping trip. This time round, we changed our plans and headed to Dreamworld in BKK. We met up with Phi, Tib, Wanida and family for a group trip. It was raining in the morning and I was worried that we could not go ahead with our plans. As heaven has planned for us, the rain stopped and it became a cloudy day with fantastic weather for out door activities. It was not scorching hot but it was still humid. Better then raining.

Janelle's virgin ride in the amusement park. Amazingly she did not cry and tried to calm Ing down when he cried. She only cried when she realised that her companion has left the helicoptor.

Ing and Janelle having a very serious discussion about the sofa over dinner.

Both kids seems to hit off quite well with Ing always wanting to be with Janelle during dinner. He also wanted to eat almost everything that Janelle is eating. It was always amusing to us to see the two todders communicate with each other in their baby languages. It was a pity that we did not capture the moments when they were chatting. Both of them always stop when we bring out our cameras.

Shopping is something that we could not miss out in all our trip to BKK. However the little one was not very cooperative when it comes to me shopping. She insisted that I carried her almost throughout the day. I was unable to try any clothings. It was a good thing that we brought our carrier there. If not I do not think I will be able to carry her over long periods of time.

Janelle loves travelling on our luggage
Will we bring her out again? I will love to... but Dear thinks otherwise. He wants some couple time. So where should we go next?
