Zach’s first Adventure to the Philippines

I cant believed it is almost a year ago since Zach’s first Philippines trip!  It was so exciting and at the same time nerve wracking trip.  3 airport stops!

From Tampa – New York, USA 2 hours and 44 minutes to Beijing,China and to Manila, Philippines 16+ hours straight flight… and an hour flight going to our final destination Legazpi, Philippines . It is more than 24 hours travel time with a toddler! Some of my mommy friends asked me if I have lost my mind to even consider doing it..lol   but we sure did it… Zach was a trooper on the way – he slept most of the time during the longest flight and when he is awake I kept him busy with the iPad loaded with baby Einstein videos! it worked for us! he is a good traveling buddy!

Here he is at Tampa Airport – waiting for our first take off..
