[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take your wife and baby! I think you'll all regret not being together, particularly at a big family gathering where all will be keen to meet your daughter. We started traveling overseas when our DD was 1 and it's really not so bad.[/quote]

+1 - traveling with infants is not a walk in the park, but it's manageable.  People love to exaggerate. I've moved internationally 5 times and my kids have ranged in age from infant to 8 years and I have exactly horrendous travel memory - and it's not even the memory of my toddler vomiting all over me.

I've traveled with my baby alone.  People do it all the time.[/quote]

That should have been exactly ONE horrendous travel memory.   And it's still not the vomit one.

As far as all the extra stuff, sleep disruption, etc. Yeah, it's a pain, but not insurmountable. You can send some stuff ahead by mail and mail it back if you need to.  A relative will probably have a pack and play, or the hotel will. Either get a stroller that accommodates the car seat (which you'll want on the plan) or get an Ergo and carry the car seat. I mean, baby food comes in squeezable pouches now - and if you're going somewhere in the States, diapers and baby food are widely available.[/quote]
