Preparing for take-off
BY THE time you’re
reading this, I’ve likely
skipped the country.
Whoa, what an intro
right? What dastardly
thing could I have done
huh?
The truth is we’re off on
holiday. No, we didn’t book
it in the last week, this is a
serious trip.
We are going to Italy
to spend five weeks with
Laura’s family in the village
where she grew up.
Apart from the excitement
of getting in a bonus
summer with easy access
to the beach and Venice,
it’ll be the first time any of
Vittoria’s Italian relatives
have met her, or she them.
The flights themselves
and meeting the family
should make good reading
for you next week. But
before all that we’ve still
got to get all the packing
out of the way.
Which is a whole lot
more tactical with a toddler
than it was before she
was born.
My clothes and essentials
took about the usual five
minutes to get together and
Laura’s packing took much
longer, as per standard.
But getting Vittoria’s
things together was much
TACTICS: Vittoria
‘helps’ with packing in
her own way.
more involved.
Obviously, as a husband,
I’m completely unqualified
to do that unsupervised, so
I’ve provided consultation
on the content of Vittoria’s
bag about three times this
week.
Once we were reasonably
confident that Vittoria had
enough clothes in everyone’s
bags (just in case), it
was time to move on to all
of the other things – food,
toys, books, distractions,
medicines. The list goes on
and likely won’t be complete
until minutes before
take-off.

& Matt
It won’t be Vittoria’s first
flight, but I doubt she remembers
her last one. She
cried for like 10 minutes
when we took off and I
stress-sweated like I was
one the surface of the sun.
So fingers crossed that
the power of occasional
walks, copious episodes of
Pingu and in-flight snacks
will prevent meltdowns
and keep my armpits dry
for as much of the 24-hour
flight as possible.
I had been recommended
to pack bags of treats for
my fellow passengers as a
peace offering/bribe.
Sorry, future fellow
passengers, I did not pack
them and the only treat
you have to look forward
to is our presence.
It may or may not be
enjoyable.
