Would you rather spend 24 hours on three flights with your young kids while you try not to throw up again, or…
- replace your right hand with a monkey?
- shower with Red Bull as the water and molasses as the soap for a week?
- open a consignment store for slightly used feminine products?
Luckily the monkey types well, the molasses is keeping my left-hand stuck to the computer, and the consignment store doesn’t open until 11 p.m.: I can still blog!
I would choose anything over a full day’s worth of being cramped in a flying machine with young children, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get where you want to go. My husband and I were very, very grateful we sucked it up and took off for India over New Year’s 2014–2015. …and we will do it again!
