I'm really excited because I have never been so far away from home before, but I'm also nervous that my daughter will yell, meltdown, (or heaven forbid, pull someone's hair) on the airplane and get us thrown off and we will be stranded somewhere.
What part of England are you going to?
Do you have family there?
We have no family that we know in England, although we both almost certainly have distant relatives there.
We are flying into Heathrow and renting a car. We plan to stay in the London area for most of our visit, in a hotel near Heathrow near the beginning and end of our trip, and in a hotel in Piccadilly for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We also plan to spend a couple of days in Edinburgh.
They'll put you off the plane on Greenland. 
I'm sure it will be a good time in England.
That's what I am afraid of, that we will wind up stranded somewhere, blacklisted by the airline and unable to fly home.
I heard a
story about an autistic toddler on an airplane whose mother could not keep him quiet while he was having a meltdown. The plane was turned around and they were thrown off.
My daughter is well past toddler age, so she would get even less sympathy if she won't be quiet.
When we get there, I'm sure we will have a great time. My daughter is very excited about going there as well, so hopefully she will be able to contain herself and behave.
I'm bringing lots of stuff to entertain her on the plane and I hope she also sleeps at least part of the way.
