[quote=Anonymous]I traveled solo a lot when kids were young. They are 18mos apart. When the youngest was 18mos we went camping and started long road trips. We also travelled by air. My lesson learned was meet kids where they are. Rushing to the airport? No. Get there earlier, let them explore the airport a bit. Matching what they saw to the Richard Scary airport book was a big hit. Rushing to get to your long haul road trip destination? No. Take long lunch/dinner. Strapping kids in for 8-9 hours while trying to beat your last record is silly. I planned an extra 2 hours for those trips. We found things to explore along the way. Sometimes meant less time with relatives / friends at the destination, but my kids were rested and happy — so much more pleasant to be around than overtired or overslept kids. [/quote]
