How to change a diaper at 30,000 feet (in only 31 steps)

Yes, I was that anxious about changing a diaper in an airplane bathroom. Luckily my fears were unwarranted. Changing a diaper in an airplane bathroom is easy. Which is surprising, because there have been times when I felt so claustrophobic in one that I wasn?t convinced there was enough room in there for only me. Yet somehow I managed to make it work for a diaper change with my husband by my side, no less.
