We tookour then 2 year old on our trip to China. She did fairly well with the exception of getting to sleep. It took FOREVER....every night to get her to go to sleep.

Partly due to the time change, partly because she wouldn't stay in the hotel cribs (the crib in our province hotel wasn't even big enough for her and she is small) and probably partly because of all the new stuff that was happening.

Anyway, she ended up sleeping with me and DH for almost the entire trip. Worked for her but not so well for me.

She did get a bad cold, a cough and and ear infection which was treated with an antibiotic that we mixed with milk or water.

She didn't like the regular milk but loved the strawberry milk that was at each hotel and easy enough to find in the stores.

Next trip, dh stays home it is the best choice for us. I am hoping that either one of my sisters and/or my best friend will be able to make the trip with me.

I feel a gotcha trip with DH and the girls (who will be 3 & 4 by then) would just be too overwhelming for everyone.
