Travelling with our 8-months old daughter from the West Coast of Canada to Ireland turned out to be much easier than we expected. I think that from the title one’s standpoint, the day turned out great, because she was held by her mother or me most of the time. From our side, we were lucky that when the cabin pressure changed during takeoff and landing, she wanted to eat, and swallowing probably helped her equalize the pressure on the eardrums. Overall, she handled the trip beautifully.
Along the way, we shot little bits of video using an iPhone 4 and a GoPro HD Hero 2, which we attached to the stroller during our flight connection in Toronto.
Here is a 3-minute clip that starts with our daughter trying on her earmuffs at home and ends with us waiting for dinner at Bewley’s cafe on Grafton Street in Dublin:
