It looks like we may be going to CHINA for 2 weeks in the near future. Yikes!
Have you traveled internationally with your LO? How old was s/he? How did it go?
Kinda nervous about the major time difference and long plane ride.

That's super exciting that you're going to China for two whole weeks!! Oh my gosh. I don't have any tips b/c it's been forever since just I have traveled internationally but I think the best thing to do is try to get on that new time zone as quickly as possible. Try not to take naps. For a LO, it might be a bit more difficult, how old is your LO going to be when you go?
I hope someone else has some good tips for you!

Oh, I'd love to hear more about this. We're planning on going to Korea when my LO is 3 and baby #2 is 1 and I'm terrified!

@banana: Man. Traveling domestically is stressful enough.. can't imagine flying for more than 8 hours. -.- So this is random, but I totally had no idea you were Korean! In my mind, you were white!
@mediagirl: I hope so too! I'm seriously thinking about NOT going.. but I've never been to China and I think it'd be so much fun. LO will almost be a year old. She's 10.5 months old now.

@chopsuey119: That's funny cause a lot of people say the same thing, especially when they talk to me (they say I don't sound Asian). My husband was SHOCKED when he found out I spoke Korean (he's korean too). I don't look that Korean either (people think I'm mixed) but I'm 100% korean. I guess I don't sound Asian online either! lol
I'm SO scared of flying so with 2 kids that far away. I get nervous taking my LO to the zoo!

@banana: ditto on everything you said! man. you're so brave. I wouldn't even think about flying internationally with 2 kids unless they were at least 3 years old!

@chopsuey119: Well, my husband is a tight-wad and wants to the 2nd kid to fly free (under 2). Otherwise, I would TOTALLY wait until they were older.

@banana: Oooohh.. that's right! Totally forgot about the flying for free. Man. I hope you guys have miles or can upgrade to business or first. I just about died when I flew to Korea with my mom a couple of years ago. Those seats are so tiny!!!!!

@chopsuey119: No, we don't have miles so we'll be flying coach. I'm gonna die!!! Ok now I don't even wanna go at all. I get claustrophobic after a while and I can't EVEN imagine having to take care of 2 kids too.
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
@banana: Omg.. why are you guys going to Korea? Seriously. I thought I was going to die when I went. And I got the seat all to myself! Your 3 yr old will have his own seat, but your 1 yr old on your lap is going to be pretty painful.. If you guys could snag an emergency exit seat it wouldn't be bad though. You could put a blanket on the floor and let your LO(s) sleep.

@chopsuey119: We're going cause my husband has ton of family there and some of them are getting old unfortunately. So he wants them to meet our LOs before they pass. Since this trip is really for him, maybe I'll try to convince him to give me first class with the baby and he can have coach with the 3 year old. That's fair!!!

If you can upgrade to business for free it will make everything waaaaaay easier. My sister flies internationally with my nephew quite a bit and has said that the flat bed in business class makes it so much easier.

@banana: totally fair. haha. luckily for us all of the older family members are in the states. otherwise we'd have to head to korea too.
