we are thinking about taking our two and ahalf year old to dubai/oman end feb/march. is this a good idea?

Go for it - it'll either be absolutely fine or the worst fifteen hours of your life but at least you'll know! I flew (short-haul admittedly) with a two-and-a-year-old DD and six-week-old DS alone and it was ok. Lots of snacks and colouring books for DD and a bottle for her to suck on/breastfeed for him during take-off and landing to help their ears. I've a friend who toilet-trained her toddler during a long-haul flight - bugger all else to do than go to the loo every 15 minutes!

We're thinking of maybe going to Caribbean on holiday in September, when ds will be 15 months old. I'm not sure this would be feasible though and I wondered if anyone had done this. I assume I would have to take all nappies and milk with me, although by that age I'm guessing he won't be have too many bottles per day. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.
