Anyone who has been flying for a while can't help but notice how much better entertainment has become - although international has always been better than domestic. Without even touching the Kids TV options, Victoria watched several Kids movies (Finding Nemo, Zootopia, Angry Birds, and The Little Mermaid). Those of us who recall one movie on the big screen in flights can't help but appreciate over a hundred options - many with lots of language options. Given that she watched the Little Mermaid, she liked the surprise of a big Little Mermaid book (with stickers,) but we didn't do more than briefly look at it. The entire flight was in the dark with people trying to sleep until the last two hours, so initial plans of firing up the light and reading became impractical or at least inconsiderate. We were going read here in Sydney until we saw the play zone in the Air New Zealand lounge - don't see that in the US!
She's been a perfect flyer today (or is it the day before yesterday? since it is now Thursday) - no crying, arguing, getting sick,... all the things parents and those seated near fear (and kids around us were doing). She even got some sleep! Unfortunately, we were sitting on the wing, so the views of Sydney were obstructed even though we had a window on the right side.
That wraps things up for now. We'll entertain ourselves for a couple more hours here, fly to Auckland, and drive down to Lake Taupo. Look for more on Friday.
