I am a single mom with a 7 year-old daughter and hope to travel to Guatemala later this year to get my new 3 year-old daughter (no other adults going with me). Does anyone have any suggestions about making the trip easier? How many days to spend there in seeing sights, shopping, etc. or good places to go with 2 kids in tow (both of which may not always be the happiest)? How to make the waits and airplane ride more tolerable.... etc. Traveling alone (without adult) does not bother me, but I'm not sure how much sanity I will have when it comes to managing 2 kids!

I have a 5 year old daughter who I want to take with to Poland. There was a wonderful response to my question.

Refer to International Adoption General Support, thread "the trip overseas".

Good Luck.

We took our almost 9 year old son with us when we picked up his 10 month old brother. My husband and I both went so we did have two adults. We stayed at the Clarion. Our oldest son was great and such a BIG help with the little one. I actually think that it helped having our oldest one as the little one looked up to him. We did not do much sightseeing on that trip but we would all love to go back again. Good luck! It is a very pretty country!!
