Ok so we are officially going to visit H's grandfather in December with the kids. His grandfather keeps saying he feels like his time is coming and he even said he's not sure he will be here in December. Kind of sad. I hope he sticks around because it would be great for the kids to meet him and it's H's only living grandparent (which is so foreign to me, I grew up knowing all but 1 great-grandparent and my great-grandpa lived until 101!). So we will be flying from GA to AZ which if I remember correctly is about 3.5 hours?? I hate flying, and I have terrible motion sickness. I'm hoping our kids will be ok as they are both currently fine in the car (my didn't get bad until I was maybe 4 or 5).
SO tell me what tips and tricks I need to know for flying/traveling!! DD will be 2.5, DS will be 6 months. We are flying Southwest, DD has to have her own seat so we are bringing her carseat that's designed for air travel. I will wear DS and plan on nursing him for take off/landing. We will probably just rent a carseat from the car rental when we get there. We are renting a house but my MIL forgot about a pack and play so we may try to borrow one from H's cousin who lives there.
So far I'm looking at headphones and a Kindle Fire for DD. Maybe an iPad mini if we can get the in laws to buy it. She watched the whole Princess Sofia movie the other night so we are hoping if we can put some movies and some of her favorite TV shows on a tablet she will be happy. I have no idea what to expect with DS.
HELP. ADVICE PLEASE!!
Also I think I may cloth diaper since there will be laundry at the house. Any tips on this? Should I try or should I just go with disposables so it's less to pack??
