You don't sound very happy about being a parent. Most people would love to have your problem. Sad.

13:47 back. On all three trips with our girls we powered through the flights. I'd rather get it all over with than get us and all our stuff in and out of airports two days in a row - twice.

While I realize others disagree, consider which you'd rather do before you book. Personally I'd rather sit in Hawaii after two long flights than spend the night in LA on the way, probably in an airport hotel.

Went last year with a 9 month old and 4 year old. Was awesome! We flew direct just to get the flight over with, and yes, the baby needed to be walked around on the airplane a few times, but once we landed in HI, it was so much fun. If we could go again this year, I totally would.
