Adi is a perfect travel companion (as long as he gets a new toy in the airport!) and I am going to have my first holiday alone with him when we travel to Singapore this December. This is subject to change provided KG gets leave during XMas but for now its just Adi and me and I am so looking forward to it.
I was packing our bags today for our Rajasthan trip and it brought back memories of our first travel with Adi. He was 6 months old and it was his first trip to his Maasi's home in Delhi and his Grandparent's place in Phagwara. We also made day trips to Chintpurni (pilgrimage site in Himachal Pradesh) and the Golden Temple at Amritsar. As normal parents, we were anxious about how he would fare, if his ears would pain during the takeoff and landing, if he would make a fuss in the long train journey to Punjab, if he would eat well, if he would get along with everyone. We worried for nothing as there was not a single whimper, not a single cry throughout all the flight, train and car trips - he ate well, he slept well and he was such a happy child. I guess after this trip we were ready to take on everything - dont think we worried ever again! Looking back, it was much easier travelling with him when he was baby than now. Then there was no distraction of toys, video games, inflight TV, etc - all he did was eat, poo and sleep. But now its a different story all together - during our Dussera holidays Adi was cartwheeling all around the Delhi airport and I had to stand and pretend that he was not my child!! Hehe!
