How to miss your flight home...

If you were wondering a good way to miss your flight home the next time you're traveling, do what I do--leave you carry-on bag sitting on your in-law's kitchen counter (which includes your child's bottles, diapers, etc. and your ID) and don't realize you've forgotten it until you've reached the airport curb-side check-in. Nice!

Yes, that's correct. We missed our flight home on Sunday morning because I forgot to grab that very important piece of luggage as we were walking out the door. Ooops! I proceeded to have a complete and total meltdown (tears included) that my poor in-laws had to witness.

It all worked out in the end, though. We were able to get on the next flight flying stand-by. And since we had time to kill, we were able to attend a very nice Mass in the Orlando International Airport's chapel.

Our little Lola gets 2 gold stars (as my mom would say) when it comes to traveling. She didn't give us an ounce of trouble flying either way! We don't know when our next trip south will be, but we do know one thing...It can't come soon enough!
