[quote=Anonymous]We took our 8 and 11 year old daughters to India a couple of years ago.  Beforehand, we visited the State Dept of Health's Travel Dept. (in Idaho) and they did an excellent job of informing us of the immunizations we should receive, plus other health related info about India.  I was very impressed.  If Idaho has something like this, I would think they would have the same services in the DC area.    We were very overprotective and even got Rabies shots for the girls because we were going on a tour through the countryside and were supposed to visit an animal rehab center...plus heard horror stories about the aggressive monkeys in Delhi.

We adopted our daughters from China at ages 8 months and 14 months and I considered the plane trip a nightmare.  You have to understand that I had infants that were fairly traumatized by the transition to a new family, so the situation is really not the same, but they were so ACTIVE.   I think 5 months would be much easier.  The jet lag is also a huge factor, so take that in consideration.  Maybe you'll have family members who can watch your baby while you take a nap (which you'll need if the baby is up all night).

And after four years old---a breeze.  We've been to China, India, Kenya, Belize, Mexico, and they are excellent travellers.  [/quote]
