“the wheels on the bus go round and round…”
Posted by tjdotson under: Planning stages .
I can’t remember when I started planning our trip to Europe but I think it must be a year ago by now. I used a handy online organizer called Backpack. I could never get my Mom to use it correctly but it didn’t matter really. I gave her the public url to look at and she would call me on the phone to tell me what she liked or didn’t like. Just so you know, my Mom is coming with us for part of the trip. She is going to fly into Amsterdam where we will pick her up on our way to Heidelberg, Germany. We decided it would be best to have another adult around to help with the toddler. Without Mom being able to go, Chris and I really wouldn’t have any time to enjoy some of the more romantic aspects of Europe without a mini-person constantly singing “the wheels on the bus go round and round….”
No, we aren’t crazy. Yes, we are taking a two and a half year old to Europe for two weeks. As I blog about the preparations for the trip and the trip itself, I will be sure to include lots of tips and lessons learned in regards to traveling abroad with a toddler. I will also appreciate any useful advice fellow crazy travelers might have about entertaining aforementioned toddler on a 10 hour plane trip. We just returned from Anaheim, CA a few weeks ago and the stretch of almost 5 hours had us sickly begging for the plane to crash so we would be put out of our misery! We obviously didn’t learn from that experience so we will be getting on that plane in CVG dumbly thinking this time will be different. Ah, selective memory, I love you.
