Jo and I did not have a clue on how challenging it is to travel with a toddler. Well, to say it was challenging is an understatement. Phoebe was cooperative during the first 30 minutes then became restless for the next 13 hours, fell asleep for about 2 hours then became cranky again. Of course, she had to do you-know-what three times during the flight. Yes, it was quite a challenge - being crammed inside the small restroom with all three of us struggling to make it through the ordeal. Phoebe kept pushing the seat infront of her and I could not help but think that I was once one of those passengers that get easily annoyed by being pushed from the back - talking about bad karma. And yes, did I mention that Jojo and I did not sleep for 2 nights prior our flight because we had to skim through the entire house making sure we did not forget one single feeding supply or baby clothing? All in all, it was quite an experience. I would definitely not recommend flying for 20 hours with an active toddler if it is not a matter of life and death. But all in all, seeing the smiles of the lolos and lolas when they first saw their apo, made it all worth it.

 Below are pictures taken during the first 30 minutes of our flight from JFK to Narita (Japan). What happened after that? - PURE CHAOS.
