We are headed out to southern France soon. I am sooo excited! But, I’m a little worried about bringing a 13 month & all her stuff on a trip that entails an overnight flight, transfer to an 1.5 hour flight, to a 1.5 hour train to a cab ride! The crazy part is that we will then be living on a boat for a week! I’ve been preparing/packing for several weeks. Thanks to these wonderful packing lists.
I purchased new duffle suitcases which can be rolled or carried on the back. I found a used Maclaren Quest for $10 at a yard sale. My trusty Ergo is coming along. I’ve created a travel gate out of a $5 net from IKEA & some stick on cord management 3m tabs (thanks to Merriment for inspiration! I have a baby life jacket & some water alarms & other babyproofing items.
As recommended for the plane, I picked up a few new & “new to us” toys: a hide&seek board, a travel puzzle, and a to go fishbowl toy. We will bring a long some cups, books & balls for play on the boat.
Wish us luck!
