[blparent] travel questions for extended trip

[Veronica Smith]

Ok, for a 3 year old, the playpen won't work, but a cute cot near mom and
dad will.  Maybe the condo has 2 beds next to each other and she can just
sleep next to you or like we have done many a time, I slept with dad a few
nights and with Gab a few nights and more often than not, slipped out of her
bed while she was sound asleep and back into my own. You ought to contact
the condo and ask where the beds are located. v

>> Hi Everyone:

>> Any other travel essentials people can think of? Things you absolutely

>> Also, any good books about going on trips? She's a great reader, and we
