Traveling with special needs..

 I will be the first to admit it, travel with my boyfriend isn't always the easiest of things..
 His special need is that he is 6'8, or (2 meters 3).
His bed is a California King, he can't take a bubble bath, and his knees press into the chair in front of him when he sits on a plane.. and you can bet the person in that chair will be sitting straight up the whole ride.. Though there have been a few that have tried really hard to push the chair back through his knees.
 Since we will by flying 5 hours to Chicago, and 7 more to Dublin, I'd say the 30 extra dollars we paid to sit in the bulkhead row, are definitely worth it.
Sometimes we see if they will change it for us at the airport for free, but sometimes we end up sitting away from each other for hours, or worse,there is nothing they can do be cause the flight is full up. The way back from a recent trip to NY was like that, and it was .. not good.
  I would say one of the benefits to being a flexible acrobat like myself, is the ability to curl up in tight spaces, but until my computer programmer man Phileas takes a few more lessons, bulkhead will have to do! :)
