After a long 20 hours flight, with 1 transit in Narita airport, we finally arrived in LA. The flight was seriously too long especially when travelling with a toddler in the economy class. My butt started to ache during the second half of the flight. Charlotte was lying on my lap and my movement was restricted.
I also totally underestimated the memory of a 2 year old toddler. The moment Charlotte got on to the plane, she requested for me to make her seat into a bed. So she actually remembered her experience in business class from the previous trip. I was surprised but had to tell her apologetically that this seat was not able to do so. She whined a little then asked for a cup of orange juice (sound like a total spoiled brat).
In any case, we survived the flight. But now, the jet lag is the next torturing part. Charlotte is experiencing a horrible jet lag. She woke up at 2am and only went to bed at 8.30am. So she's still sleeping now at 3pm in the afternoon. I foresee another sleepless night for me. Shouldn't kids get over jet lag faster than adults? I think I'm over it due to the little sleep I have. I think I can just concuss the night away now.
Our first night in LA was spent in the nearest supermarket. Charlotte loved the trolleys there hah. Cheap thrill. Guess it will be another night out for us again due to Charlotte's current sleeping routine.
