The episode was inspiring. If we are to book something similar using Aeroplan, can you explain the method. Is it by calling with all the places you would like to visit or by booking online? I tried to do a test booking but was only allowed to search 2 segments at a time
Lucky that you didn’t go to Vienna where I and my two children went 🙁
Great episode! Love learning through others points and miles booking experiences, especially too since I have an upcoming trip to Singapore (long layover), Kuala Lumpur (stop over) and Disney Sea. For Nick, hope this tip our pediatrician gave us – which has been revolutionary for us – helps your fam: zofran rapidly dissolving tablet on the tongue. Available by prescription, taken before symptoms start, non-sedating (unlike Dramamine) & immediate onset of action due to oral mucosal absorption. My daughter has had no motion sickness on car rides since taking this. I even recommend it now in my own adult medical practice now for motion sickness prevention (general internal medicine doc). Good luck!
Thank you for this suggestion! Adult motion sickness in my family. Going to try this.
