I think you'll just have to go with the flow but keep DD's surroundings as comfortable and familiar as possible. I'd try to stick to the same routines but just know that their exact timings will probably be off. We're traveling at the moment and brought all of LO's comfort items along and keep to the same routines so she has been as happy as a clam. Good luck and safe travels!

The time difference could work in your favor or it could work against you, there's really no telling until you fo it, you know? It takes my son 4 days to adjust over 6 time zones, both ways, so it's awesome if you have some help in those days. What I found was just to let them sleep and eat when they want, they'll adjust on their time, so don't worry about keeping to your schedule. We do keep the routines the same, so same activities at nap and bedtimes, just at adjusted times.
Kids are resilient, I am the one that is stressed and makes the situation worse, so now that I know this, I try to be extra patient. best of luck!

Yikes! I sprouted hives just reading your post (I hate travel and change)!!! I have zero experience with this, but I'd recommend also trying to keep a good schedule as stable as possible, and maybe trying out the travel crib or tent so that she gets used to sleeping in that environment? Good luck!! And have fun too

@Maysprout: for the first 2 days, I've found we're pretty much on the old time schedule, so yes, that included nights of having play time and breakfast at 2 am.
I am pretty strict with naps and schedules, but I do make exceptions for holidays. I find people are also pretty respectful of the time change and not having too many visitors at once.
