I’ll definitely bring good shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2812086 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 21:12:38 +0000 cake2017 2812086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: I enjoy trying new food and we wplan to do the touristy stuff too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2812028 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 18:35:53 +0000 JMOM 2812028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with SNOWJEWLZ, there is a ton of walking! We told people to walk before they came to build up their stamina but no one did and they were all exhausted. It probably didn't help that our flat was up 4 flights of steep steps with no elevator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2811883 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 10:40:30 +0000 Kitkat 2811883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the middle of a trip to Paris without LO (17 months) and it’s gone way better than I could have hoped. I think he’s having way too much fun with his grandparents to miss us. We also left him for 4 days when he was 11.5 months and that went great too. He’s continuing going to daycare so his routine isn’t too disrupted.</p> <p>If it’s your first trip to London, I would do the major touristy stuff...Tower of London, Windsor Castle, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s. I also really enjoyed Churchill’s War Rooms. Also Harrod’s!</p> <p>Agree with others about copies of passports, pediatrician/insurance info, etc. I also typed up a probably too detailed set of instructions for his daily routine and daycare process, as well as contact numbers...who knows if it was ever read, but it made me feel better :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2811877 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 10:26:58 +0000 snowjewelz 2811877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did all the touristy things in London but be prepared b/c it's a ton of walking! If you aren't as into that, I would've wanted to take a quick trip out to the Stonehenge. Loved doing hi-tea (I was at the Orangey). I mainly did all the touristy stuff b/c I knew it wasn't likely that I'd go back for another visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2811850 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 09:26:29 +0000 JMOM 2811850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends on how long you have. We lived in London for 6 months and I loved going to Kensington Palace and the Tower of London, we always took people to both when they visited. You can get a pass that includes those and Hampton Court, which was great, too. What do you like to do? There is lots of free things you can do like walking Hyde Park, I think a lot of the museums are free (the British museum is spectacular). We did the London eye but I don't know if it is a must. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2811830 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 08:36:38 +0000 cake2017 2811830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: Yup! They are listed at our pediatrician office! Thank you for the link as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2811826 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 08:19:59 +0000 peachykeen 2811826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This 'consent to treat' form is the one we used:</p> <p><a href="https://www.acep.org/medicalforms/" rel="nofollow">https://www.acep.org/medicalforms/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2811825 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 08:19:39 +0000 peachykeen 2811825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave insurance cards (or at least copies) and make sure the caregivers are listed on the doctor form that allows them to bring your child in for treatment. When we leave the country, we have also printed one of those 'permission to treat' forms off the internet that we left at home with the insurance cards. Probably not necessary but it made me feel better while we were gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trip-to-london#post-2811822 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 07:51:10 +0000 cake2017 2811822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>We are traveling to London for just a few days! I know a short trip but it’s a short flight so we can always go back! </p> <p>I am just wondering if any of you have tips/suggestions for me because LO will be home with gma and aunt. Gma takes care of him during the day when I work so he’s comfortable.</p> <p>We’ve traveled without him before when he was 3 months old. He will be 11 months when we leave for this trip. </p> <p>Also, anyone been to London? Suggestions for a quick trip, restaurants? safety etc?</p> <p>Anything you suggest for baby tips? I usually type up emergency numbers,copies of passports,rules etc...</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
