[quote=Anonymous]I think the suggestion to have DD's mom come and have a week to herself (or with her mom or a friend or whatever) and then get DD to herself for 5 days, which you would then have with your DH and girls is a great one.

For all the folks saying that a 3 and 4 year old are too young to bring on the trip, you do you. She's not asking about that aspect, nor should she. Our kids are 3 and 1 and have been on 2 international trips together (1 to Europe w/ friends and 1 much farther away to visit family); the 3 year old has been on 2 other international trips to (1 to a different European country, one that we used to live in, to stay with friends and 1 to the same far away country to visit family). The travelling sucks, but the trips themselves have been amazing. The 3 year old absolutely still remembers the 2 most recent trips -- including people she's only met while on those trips and still asks about; and -- just as importantly -- we remember the trips, made great memories and the kids, even if they won't remember, had a fantastic time. That's plenty valuable. Also, even if kids don't remember specifics, each trip makes the kids better travelers. Since we travel a lot, it's good to start now.[/quote]
