travelling lightly with only my backpack and my broken heart

[rainsinger]

Travelling to the Old Country with an 18 month old was traumatic in many ways that travelling with a 9 month old wasn't. Certainly as an infant he had a shorter attention span and was more difficult to contain and entertain, but he was also happy to be taken whenever, however, like a more or less sentient piece of hand luggage

I think I'm missing something--where are you going?

And Matei sounds so cute. Cute/annoying, maybe, but overall cute.

I'm going back to England. He's staying in Yugoslavia and going to the seaside with his grandparents and assorted fans for the next three months. I took him to Belgrade to help him settle, but my time is up and I need to go back to work. :((((

Haha! Yes, I agree with this comment.

It sounds like your relationship is really becoming something very wonderful now, great to hear after the difficult times you've had.

Poor you - I still remember being sedated by airport officials (in good old soviet times) for causing scenes as 3 years old...
