"This way to the left aisle, please", as she showed the way to my Mummy.
As we moved through the narrow path towards the rear of the aeroplane, Mummy soon found our seats. She sat down and was promptly offered an infant seatbelt. The air stewardess helped Mummy with the use of the belt. "Click"... and I was securely fastened together with Mummy.
The noise on the plane grew louder and louder. I wondered what was happening outside. Then it started moving. Daddy prepared a bottle of warm water for me. Then, Mummy grabbed hold of me much tighter than before. The noise drowned out Mummy and Daddy's voices and I wobbled in Mummy's arms. I felt a sudden push to the back and leaned back on Mummy's chest.
"We are flying up, Shannon!", exclaimed Mummy.
"Woo-hoo!", shouted my sister with delight.
I started "digging" my ears after a while and fidgeted in my seat. Mummy let me drink water from my milk bottle. She said I would feel better. I do not know why but I think it did help.
As the plane climbed, I saw the ladies in red busy walking up and down the aisle pushing trolleys of food and drinks. Meanwhile, Mummy got a TV screen up in front of us and plugged in a huge headset. And that was how I enjoyed the rest of my flight to Taipei...
More stories on my first trip overseas coming soon... Drop by my Daddy's blog for a few of his stories.
