babies and travel

I have had quite a few comments about traveling with Tootie that I wanted to address.
1. Is traveling the same as before? NO WAY! Do we still get to go to the same places, yes, but we don't necessarily get the R&R that we used to. Thankfully we typical travel with other people, so we do get a few moments to ourselves here and there.
2. Have you traveled without her? Yes, twice she has spent extended weekends with my parents. The first time we went on a short cruise to the Bahamas and we had a very high anxiety level about not being able to get home right away if something happened and we were lonely without her. The second time we went to New Orleans and it was much easier to leave her for three reasons, 1-she was older and could have cared less if we were there or not, 2-we were always just a phone call away versus being out to sea, 3-large intake of alcohol with friends.
3. Are you going to continue to travel with her now that you have to pay her airfare? Don't be mistaken, children under 2 that fly international are not free, so yes it will be a little more expensive here in a few months, but that's ok there are too many place and people to see in this lifetime to stop now. In fact, we just booked our first 2011 vacation which will be a 8 day cruise to Cozumel, Panama and Costa Rica.

We have had a lot of funny questions and comments made, but you get the point that we love Adelaide and we love to travel, so we are going to keep on seeing the world one vacation day at a time.
