Today Mika and I departed from LAX to CDG.  I was surprised at how well Mika handled the long flight. Needless to say booking a night flight and electronics were a huge plus! Aside from that, British Airways has a great kid program if you book it ahead of time. I was able to get a kid-friendly meal and even a "fun pack" full of nick knacks to keep Mika busy.

When we finally go to Paris I was amazed at how different it was to travel with Mika. I felt vulnerable and open to attacks. All I can do is keep her by my side and get us into a taxi and to our hotel as soon as possible. Mika was exhausted, aside from the long flight there was a 9 hour time change. Poor baby slept from 6pm till 6am.
