The exploits and adventures of a wife, mom and expat from Eastern Europe
Flying with baby in the second segment meant a loooooooooooooooooong flight! 🙂 It started after a three hour stop in Frankfurt. The first segment of our flight went well but it was just the beginning. The landing went smooth and we were able to take our stroller immediately after that.
