Overall the holiday was really fantastic. The first 3 days were a bit stress full as Joshua was not eating a thing and was being sick a lot. We never really got to the bottom as to whether it was his new teeth, the flight, the temperatures or just a big. But fortunately he soon started eating and keeping his food down and the second half of the holiday was much much better.
Anyway the holiday all started with a trip to Gatwick for Joshua's first ever aeroplane ride. Upon arrival I kept the little man occupied by walking around the airport. Joshua seemed to raise many smiles and got chatting with lots of people including one of the female airport police officers (chatting up the ladies turned out to be a common theme for Joshua's holiday!).
After all that walking around, Dad still expected the little guy to push the luggage trolley around. Would you believe one of those cases was completely filled for just Joshua, so me and Tina had to share the other case!!!
Whilst waiting for boarding it was time for Joshua to don the shades and practicing looking a cool dude.
Once on the plane his initial reaction was lots of excitement and a very keen interest to see what was going on outside the window. Despite Joshua not having his own seat, we were fortunate on the way out to have a spare seat and so Joshua got to spread out and be more comfortable.
Once Joshua was bored with looking at blue sky and clouds it was Dad's turn to entertain the little guy (and everyone else on the flight) with a few verses out of Joshie's nursery rhyme book. Karaoke eat your heart out!
After all that excitement Joshua finally decided to catch 40 winks for the last 2 hours of the flight. Overall he was very well behaved on the 4 hour flight and enjoyed a couple of walks up the aisle way to greet all the fellow passengers.
Once in Lanzarote the little guy woke up but had to wait for Dad to go and collect all the luggage. Time for a quick drink and nappy change before catching the coach to our resort in Playa De Pocillos.
And after the long journey we finally arrived at our destination ready to begin the holiday (and hopefully some relaxing).
Check in tomorrow for Day 2 of the holiday.

The cae seat is great and at least you can see where you are going Josh! You are so good with your walking now, I have been telling anyone who will listen. Looking forward to all the holiday updates and glad you settled down to the holiday spirit after getting over the sickness. Hope also you are enjoying being back at school. 18 more days till national Josh Day!
