When I first moved to Arizona from Minnesota in 1992-ish, I thought that I would miss having a white Christmas. Little did I know that sunny skies with temps in the mid-70's in December is pure bliss. We arrived into Phoenix on Christmas Eve. Kapono was an angel on his first flight -- no joke. I told Emiliano that I couldn't have scripted a more perfect travel experience. We had the bounty of running into an honored friend, Ms. Erica Toussaint, who regaled us with inspiring stories from her recent travels to the Baha'i SED Conference in Orlando, while we waited for our (thankfully) on-time flight. We sat in the front row (economy) which meant just enough legroom for Kapono to sit/stand/stumble around at our feet. He began to nurse during take-off and was asleep before we hit our final cruising altitude. He slept 2 hours, played the final hour with our Filipina neighbor, and was a wide-eyed gem Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Of his many gifts of books, clothes, and toys, he most enjoyed the shimmery gift-wrap bows.

Haha, that's awesome Kim! I'm so glad your first experience went well! I'm sure you felt the same trepidation I did going into our first flight ever with a child, and the same relief when it was all over and went well. And getting to hang out with Erica!! That's awesome.
And Kapono knows bows are where it's at!

Hi Husayn! Yes, trepidation is the perfect word (you've been on a roll lately!) Erica had the neatest story...remind me to tell you :-) See you all soon...we return to Chi-town this weekend.
Dena, just sent you an email with my email ;-)
Wow, that's awesome. How old is Kapono now?
