Fran-I am so glad! Sounds like you really need this trip--I'm sure Maggie will be fine too- My kids were 6 and 8 when 9-11 happened and we were at the height of "Disney-mania" (trip down every year) It was really hard getting them on a plane after that- but they did it the following summer-and each trip has a little less anxiety associated with it. I think when we go out of MacArthur (here in Islip) they don't even think about it-it is such a small airport and very low key. The more excited they get about something-the less anxious they are. Have a good flight and make sure those trolls don't get into too much trouble! (They might be joining me at Christmas)
