[spongecake]

hi there
my dh has promised me a hol in may-a belated honeymoon! i would love to go long haul somewhere lovely but can't find any advice anywhere on where is ok to go and take a i year old as well. don't really want to have any injections if poss and my dh likes to snorkel and dive. any advice and ideas really welcome before he changes his mind! thanks if you can help..

Hi
Lucky you!
Having done a few long hauls pre-baby and quite a few flights post baby I would really suggest finding a place baby friendly and opting for that....even if its not long haul.
We only did short flights from the age of 8 months upwards and it got tougher. By 12months she was running up and down the aircraft aisle......we had 2 weeks in Tuscany at 14months and it was hard work. It would have been great if we had a night off or help with the early mornings (i.e thats why I would suggest a baby friendly place). We wouldnt do it again. However our little girl is quite a live wire. If you have a good little tinker then maybe try it?
How about a compromise, maybe a 4-5 hour flight (Sharm el sheik, great for snorkelling, Dubai, great for shopping)? Enjoy where ever you go.

thx, thats v helpful
