Some tips for traveling with kids

1. Don't expect to relax - good thing I've learned this lesson early 
2. Ship supplies ahead of time - if you're traveling long-term within the U.S., I love this tip to order from Amazon or Diapers.com for supplies. 
3. Don't fly - It's cheaper but takes longer. We can't wait to try a long-distance auto-train trip on Amtrak (between DC and Florida)! 
4. Do spring for a suite - Great advice. When we all stay in the same room at night, J is awakened every time we move. Thus, we don't move and sleep like mummies. It's bad enough traveling is tiring, now add poor quality sleep to the equation and no one is having fun. 
5. Do locate the pharmacy before you need it - And the local hospital.

From me

If you're going through airport security with a car seat, consider these "dollies". I was also in the market for a lightweight or umbrella stroller when we were planning to travel with J. And I am in love with these ull-along animal suitcases that also double as ride-alongs for kids.
