This vacation started out crazy, as Kaya, Mommy and Daddy spent over 7 HOURS on a plane to get to Florida. When we got to the airport that morning, it was lightly snowing, but we had an early flight and got boarded and in our seats by 7:30, no problem. The problem started when it started snowing harder, and peopld who work at the airport couldn't get there due to the weather. Then we couldn't get a push back because we had to wait for a plow. Then we had to get in line to get de-iced. Then we finally made it to the runaway (3 hours later) and the runway was deemed to be in unsafe condition, so we drove back to the gate! Then we finally pushed back again, got de-iced, and were allowed to take off in a zero visibility blur of snow. Definitely the scariest take off ever for us.
But through all of this Kaya was so well behaved. She read books and played with stickers, ate snacks, and was so quiet that some people didn't even realize she was on the plane until the 4th hour! And even then, she just wanted to stand on the seat and wave at them. We were so proud (and thankful) that she was such a great kid during this - because we were way stressed!
Once we made it to Florida, everything was smooth sailing. Kaya loved running around the big cruise ship and going up and down the stairs and the hallways. She liked swimming at various beaches on the islands we visited, and she especially liked the "taxi" we took in St. Thomas. Basically a van pulling what looked like the type of vehicle you'd take on safari. We sat in the back, and every time we would go over a bump, Kaya would say "Wheeee!".
On the boat itself, we had three connecting balconies, so Kaya loved running back and forth to go to Uncle John's "house" or Nanae and PopPop's house.
