Multiple NSVs

 Just got back from my first plane trip in about 8 months and wanted to share several NSVs.
1. As stated earlier, clothes take up less space in a suitcase.  I was able to have room to bring back several clothing items from a great thrift store to give to my grandaughters!
2. For the first time in years, I didn't have to request a seat belt extender.  
3. There was no struggling to get the arm rest down or having to leave it up.
4. On a packed flight, I didn't get "that look" when someone had to get in the middle seat next to me.
5. The on-flight bathroom was so much easier to use.  
6. I could get through spaces I didn't anticipate being able to get through.  Sometime I would think I couldn't get through there and then decide to try it and "Voila!" it worked.
7. The relatives were all very realistic and supportive of my progress

All of this makes me more excited about my upcoming trip to Italy to visit my grandaughters!  just wanted to share some positives with this very supportive group!

Congrats! Those are awesome! I didn't even think of those bathrooms - those things are TINY!

You have some wonderful nsvs!!  Congrats.  I know you were floating on a high when you realized how different it was this time!  Best wishes

Awesome...the best!
I can't wait til traveling gets easier and i can give up my belt extender!

Congratulations!.  I am flying from Seattle to Atlanta at the end of the month.  I can only dream that my experience will as good as yours.  I am a little nervous.  Lucky my 16 yr old son is sitting next to me and he is a stick figure, just in case

 Those bathrooms are tiny, aren't they?
Thanks for all the encouragement and know I'm sending encouragement to each of you.  Here's to the NSVs, as well as the SVs!
