By the way, Yes. Prayer works.How do I know? Because we weren't thrown off the plane to or from Hawaii. I'm happy to report that our daughter decided to grace us with 5 hours of relative silence and solitude to and from Hawaii, despite the flight attendant who could only speak at 70 decibels or louder even while staring directly at a sleeping Paisley in Melissa's lap. Our first family vacation was a roaring success though I quickly realized that vacations with baby are radically different than trips as a young, exuberant childless married couple. With a 5 month old in tow, the quality of the accommodations and room service are exponentially more important because the vast majority of our time is spent on the hotel premises verses, say, snorkeling with giant sea turtles or eating wild guavas on a nature hike.Not to say we didn't have a good time! It was much cooler to chill on our hotel room lanai watching the resident hotel dolphins perform back flips than suffer through another week of a muggy Austin summer or smoggy Redlands July. And munching on sushi while Elizabeth Taylor sips Mai Tais at the bar next door aint too shabbby either.
