the world is not made for babies. perhaps i shouldn't be surprised at this. they don't contribute to the economy, they haven't got anything intelligent to say, only their parents think they are the bees knees and they complicate fucking travelling like you wouldn't believe!!
tip: if you are flying somewhere and need to be transferred to your accommodation at the other end- take your baby car seat with you. for gods sake, spare yourself the anger and frustration.
i am trying to organise a car to collect us at jfk airport to take us to our manhatten hotel (and back again) so far no company will supply a baby seat- we've got to supply our own. i'm livid. why is this so hard? how can a dedicated car service not have a baby seat?!
needless to say we did not bring a baby seat with us. i just assumed all taxi companies and car services would have these things as a matter of course. what an idiot i am turning out to be.
of course this is going to be repeated in paris, london and honolulu. i almost wish we were going to second world, eastern european countries where they don't give a flying fuck about your safety and certainly don't have legislation requiring babies be safely seated in cars.
i'm so completely over it. i had a terrible nite last nite and just wanted to sort this out as the final thing before we leave. i was looking forward to a snooze while percy slept and now all i can do is toss and turn and try to figure it out. hence i'm up and having a whinge. i think my stress cortisol levels must be thru the roof. i fucking hate the whole thing.

Yeah, it's a real hassle. Just a thought, though - why not take public transportation? In London the train (healthrow express) goes directly from the airport to Paddington (hotel), so minimal hassle if you don't have a lot of luggage. JFK airport has something called AIRTRAN that connects you with the subway system http://www.easynewyorkcity.com/airporttransportation.htm But again, you'll have to handle your luggage. Or could you buy a car seat in london that you could use in the other cities? That'd be the more expensive option, I guess.
thanx sarah, i'm sorry i'm such a whinge. i never used to be.
unfortunately because we packed enough stuff for six months we will have three large bags and three small ones on the way home. not really conducive to public transport.
i'm sure we'll sort it out. i was just purging!
Oh yeah, I know ALL about needing to whinge. Today I had to drive across Sydney in Apec-clogged roads - took 1 1/2 to get to Castle Hill and the same to get back. My cortisol levels must be through the roof as well...
