If not I would just bring the baby. DH and I did a weekend with just LO2 recently and it felt like such a nice break. We were able to spend so much time with our friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480958 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 01:28:09 +0000 Ree723 2480958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found 3.5 a super easy age to travel with - the 18 month to 3 stage sucks, but my 3.5 has been a dream on long flights. I wouldn't not take the toddler just because of that.</p> <p>I'd go as a whole family and since it's a beach type/relaxing holiday, I wouldn't worry too much about the jet lag! Enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480954 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 01:20:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2480954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take the whole family. I think 3.5 is a great age to travel with, and a 3 month old baby is the best age to travel with when traveling with kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480947 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 01:06:51 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2480947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say take the whole family, but 9 hours is a loooooong flight with two kids. We did 6, and that was enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480939 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:39:46 +0000 lamariniere 2480939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: I would still take the whole family. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480937 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:37:20 +0000 AprilFool 2480937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: The trip is 5 days and the flight is 9 hours from Australia. She was 2.5 last time and will be 3.5 this time. And same Island, which is part of the hesitation. :) </p> <p>@lamariniere: 5 days and the jet lag factor is huge, travelling from Australia.</p> <p>@autumnlove: Seriously sweet friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480935 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:33:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2480935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take the whole family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480933 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:32:22 +0000 QBbride 2480933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go as a whole family.

How long is the flight? How old was LO1 last time and how old will they be this time? Are you going to the same island you did before or a different one? Does your friend have kids?</p> <p>Once I know the answers to these questions, I can vote/advise as if I had this happen to me. (Coming from<br /> Someone who loves Hawaii, has gone with and without DD1 and now has a 4 month old!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480836 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:17:22 +0000 schubr03 2480836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say take some time and relax! Maybe you could take a small family trip somewhere with your toddler for extra family time another time of the year. Enjoy some well-deserved relaxing time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-trip-to-hawaii#post-2480829 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:09:50 +0000 AprilFool 2480829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my friend won a trip to Hawaii and wants to take us. Yay right? I am due with #2 end of July and trip would probably be Oct/Nov. I am not worried about travelling with a baby but more the toddler. We went to Hawaii last year and she didn't sleep on the flight and was a crank the entire trip. It was hard! So we are unsure if we want to try again. We would have to pay for my DH flight but all accom costs should be covered. So I see three options.... 1) The whole family goes, 2) I go with just the baby or 3) We leave the toddler at home with the grandparents and go relax. </p>
