I like blogs. Two of my favourite blogs (The Design Files & Meet me at Mike's) keep me sane when I am traveling and when I need something with which to divert myself.
In May of this year I had my first baby. A little girl names Beatrice Pearl. When she was three and a half weeks old she did her first long haul flight to London and by the time she is 6 months old she will have changed time zones 7 times, taken 4 x 24 hour flights, 2 x transatlantic flights, a couple of all day train trips and various taxis, cars, and buses.
I must preface all my advice and shared experiences with the disclaimer that 1) we are very lucky to have a baby who sleeps and eats easily and is very chilled and happy. We may have had something to do with this but I suspect it is mostly luck. 2) I have a very supportive husband, parents and parents in law, not to mention fantastic, experienced friends all over the place. 3) I am making most of this up as I go along.
The first time I traveled with Bebe I tried to look up every website I could for advice on how to deal with jetlag and flying generally. I found quite a lot of advice for traveling with toddlers but not much for infants. I also didn't find much in the way of advice of equipment etc that was good for carting around the place. So, here goes. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions and make this blog a little collection of advice and stories for others (and myself) to draw upon.
Have a look at the pages (links on the right) for info on equipment, hire and other things that will continue to get updated.
Happy travels!
