You are supposed to walk on the walkway, not just stand there impeding traffic.

I flew with my 3 this spring.  Getting from car to ticket counter with bags, car seats, etc and keeping kids corralled is the hardest part.  Lots of people willing to give a hand to help out a dad with little kids.  Most airports have family bathrooms otherwise that would be a catastrophe.
curb checking the bags and car seats is a must in this situation. 

At KCI I will have the car seats out of the other car ready tagged and ready to check.  If it is cold I add about 30 minutes extra on to my arrival so I can circle the around a time or two until I can park right in front of the sky cap so the kids can wait in the car and I don't have to drag luggage and seats along in the line.  Once checked in I usually do the Parking Spot so the kids do have to ride in the van w/o seats for the 2 mile trip back to the terminal. 

With 1.5 and 4 I suggest upgrading to a well built roller bag so you can do the 1.5 on your shoulders and the 4 year old can sit on the roller, they also make some kid of chairs you can add like below if you don't trust the 4 year old to hold on


Yeah, the actual flight I'm not worried about, the 4 year old can watch a movie and I can handle the 1.5 year old fine. The logistics of getting the baggage, car seats, and kids into the airport and through security would be the hardest part. I like your suggestions though.

I hope they quarantined the guy he bit.

http://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/chowder-seized-woman-aer-lingus-6666542#rlabs=1%20rt$sitewide%20p$5

holy eff. he had 54,000 euros worth (0.8 kg) of cocaine in "pellets" inside his body and one exploded, causing him to go on a biting rampage?  :sdeek:

When that pellet exploded, he basically had 10 grams of coke instantaneously... Holy crap

Going to Cabo in Jan with some friends. Renting a 5 br house with it's own private beach. Anyone familiar with the town? Since we have a kitchen and grill and stuff I wanted to find a local market with fresh seafood/produce to cook up for everyone.

I just got back from Ireland. Lots of casual cussing going on there.

Going to Portland/Seattle/Vancouver in a few weeks. Staying in the Pearl District in Portland and Downtown Seattle/Vancouver. Any "must sees" while i'm there?
Where did you get that overnight bag?

Think I'm going to Ireland next fall.....

Portland is a great city but I don't think there is a real must see...just walking around their downtown area was pretty fun, hit Deschutes brewery....very walkable/bike city.

Same with Seattle, just a fun city to hang out in, I'll let Trim handle that one.

The tortas were delicious and my new coworker agreed to get something different from me so we could each try two different halves.  :cheers:

those little baby fronteras are great.  a little expensive considering the portion sizes (and I'm sure it's probably worse in ORD), but great nonetheless.

the tall brown haired woman that used to work in the k terminal one has not been there the last two times I've went. she was there forever. I have gone with the assumption that they moved her up to the downtown location or maybe torta frontera corporate or something.

also, a great rick bayless k terminal location protip is to online order ahead of time and then just show up and boom.
