We are over 1/2 way there -- soon to be boarding out flight to Bali. Happy to say that my 2 year old was pretty ok on our very long first flight, he slept for about 5 hours, and then wanted to be entertained but no major meltdowns, crying, pain so keeping my fingers crossed that this is a good start and will continue :)
Since this will probably be my last "fast internet" until we return home, I just wanted to share that Hong Kong Int'l airport has free wireless internet as well as some PC's with free internet, and they have very nice "Resting Lounge" areas near some of the gates with reclining chairs where you can rest between flights -- as well as a "Playground" area near Gate 23 (geared towards 2-5 year olds) which has been very helpful for entertaining our son during our 3+ hour layover.
So we will be in Bali in less than 8 hours and I can't wait to start our adventure : )
I will probably be back with a few more questions before we are through -- and highly appreciate all the feedback!
Cheers!
