[quote=Anonymous]We took our then 14 month old to Cuba last March.  It was a great trip and she did great.  So glad we went.  We geared a number of activities to her - visits to farms and the beaches - but also just took her in the portable stroller to see the sights with us!  We visited a school where she danced with the "big kids" and was in her glory.  Our tour guide graciously invited us over to his house and DD played with his toddler.

We were careful with water but DD loved the food - everything was so fresh and local.  She became obsessed with rice and beans and chicken.  She obviously heard a lot of Spanish which was good for her, too.

So, yes - I might be a crazy adventurer but I believe in travel as a way of broadening a child's mind and starting travel very young so they learn to deal with flights, waiting, and a world not made just for them.

We brought a full extra suitcase of diapers, snacks (although we never used them and ended up leaving them there), a few books and her travel stroller.  No need for a car seat in Cuba since the cars don't have seatbelts.  [/quote]
