Question Traveling with other children and getting sick

I know the topic of traveling with other children vs. leaving them at home has been covered before. We had always thought my dh would travel without me so I could stay home with our sons, who we felt were too young to travel.

Now I've been reading in our March DTC group that other parents with little ones plan to travel with them. I started thinking maybe it would be a good idea. So I brought it up to my dh and he said he thinks it's a bad idea, because he traveled a lot as a child (back to his birth country of Portugal) and he ALWAYS got sick as a dog from the trip. He thinks we may have THREE sick children on our hands if we all travel.

Is there anyone who has taken such little ones on the trip? Our sons will be around 3 1/2 and 2 at travel time (if the timelines stay the same). I don't think I'd be as nervous if we only had 1 child, but taking 2 seems daunting. Our youngest would probably still be in diapers.

What kind of immunizations would they need? How likely is it that they'll get sick? Would we have a doctor at our disposal to treat them?

Thanks for your help!
