As far as clothes, think about what they feel like as much as what they look like. My 4 year old son couldn't stand the netting on American-style bathing suits. It was summer, but he had never had his bare feet shoved in a pair of shoes. We spent a year in sandals with socks and spandex swimsuits. No problem.

For a toddler/ preschooler, I would bring a sippy cup or two with the removable suction valve to prevent spills. Pull ups for any child under 7 or so, particularly for the airplane ride home, are a necessity. If your child is only just now being potty trained, I would bring diapers, and consider retro-training (going back to diapers) for the trip home, at least. She will be traumatized, and likely to regress anyway.

Bring some children's tylenol, benedryl, and topical antibiotic. I had the darndest time buying those, even in Warsaw. Don't worry about snacks, clothes, and toys too much. Most of that seems easy to buy in-country.

Good luck and enjoy your time with her!
