TRAVEL: Preparing for the first time flying with toddler

We're doing it. We're taking our energetic little toddler onto a confined space with hundreds of other people that we can't escape from, aka an aeroplane. Just the idea of flying with a child has scared me so much I've avoided it up until now, staycations are my new holiday love. However when my husband surprised me at Christmas with an incredible holiday booked to Iceland I knew that my fear of flying with a toddler was about to be faced.

TRAVEL: Preparing for our first family holiday to Iceland

Soon we are jetting off to the cold shores of Iceland, which was my Christmas present from my husband. He had been eager to go abroad in the summer, but I was too scared about taking a toddler on an aeroplane so we settled for a staycation instead. However fast forward quite a few months and I'm now about to take a toddler on a flight, whilst being pregnant! I'm actually feeling quite calm about the whole thing, which is surprising me. I'm a worrier at the best of times, but I'm so excited to visit Iceland as it's one country I've always wanted to visit. You see I hate hot weather, like really hate it, so where could be more perfect for me than a country called Iceland? So, very soon we will jetting off into the sunrise, braving flying with a toddler and experiencing the natural wonders of Iceland.
