we're headed to kauai (yay!) in a couple of weeks with my in laws and DD (15 months). we just confirmed joined rooms, so that's a huge help in terms of her sleeping and us still being able to be awake/not trapped in the same room trying to be quiet.

we won't have access to a video monitor and i know we'll be able to hear her cry since we're right next door. i'm planning on deadbolting the front door on our room and then leaving the adjoining room door ajar where we will be hanging out with our in-laws until we want to go to sleep.

does this sound right? i'm so glad we were able to get adjoining rooms, or i would be freaking about sitting in the room with her every night until we wanted to go to sleep. am i missing something about this set up? what have you done when doing a hotel vacay? i am equal parts nervous about logistics and excited about finally going on a vacation!
