My
recent plane experience seemed to scare some folks, and I hate to leave things like that. I want you to go on your next trip saying, "Hey, that Strollerderby blogger what's-her-name has got my back." So here's a
list of tips for traveling with kids that is about the most comprehensive thing I have ever, ever seen. And did you know some airlines are now charging for pillows? Ugh. Soon we'll be paying a premium for those crappy little tray tables too.
I like the idea of giving your kid a disposable camera--I can just imagine a vacation through my child's eyes. But let me also say that after reading through this, I realize that even a highly organized, chronic overpacker like myself has been missing a few things. Now I feel like my prior trips were the equivalent of taking a three-day camping trip in the wilderness armed only with a penknife and a copy of Walden. Oh, and FYI: no penknives on the plane, folks.
