Jonah was quite the traveler! Terrified of getting "the look", I avoided making eye-contact with our fellow passengers as we boarded the plane. Jonah, on the other hand, made friends with several middle-aged vacationers sitting a few rows up. They were enjoying a few too many cocktails and kept Jonah occupied with waving and peek-a-boo from behind the seats. It was great! We tried to feed Jonah during take-off and landing, but he was so pre-occupied with looking around the exciting new environment that he hardly drank between flashing the rest of the plane from under my cape. Nevertheless, the pressure, noise and movement didn't seem to bother him a bit. What was upsetting was that the little TVs wouldn't do anything when he touched them, like the iPad and soon 'broke' and stopped flashing pictures altogether!
Jonah did everything perfectly for the wedding rehearsal (his job is to be in Drew's arms). Afterwards, we took a taxi to the rehearsal dinner at Mulates, but Jonah made it quite clear that he DID NOT want to be in the cab! I felt so terrible for the family and friends that had shared the ride. I was pretty sure Jonah was just exhausted, but as soon as we arrived, he stopped crying and perked right up. He had a wonderful time eating table food (no, we didn't give him the frog or alligator) and dancing to the live music.
