We're going on our first trip with LO (8 mo) next week and I am over thinking everything. She currently is a fabulous napper, 2 a day for a total of 3hrs nap sleep usually. And has just in the past week gotten great with her night sleep with only one MOTN wake up, which is glorious. Of course we have 3 trips (with at least 3 hr time zone change) in the next 3 mo so everything will go to crap...

Anyhow, this trip next week is to my hometown and we have events (DH's PhD graduation) and a huge list of people to see and everyone wants to meet LO. How will I manage to keep her nap schedule, or how will I help her be flexible, while we do all this? We'll be staying with friends/family too, so it's not like we'll have a hotel room we can go sequester in. LO will only nap on the go (car, carrier) if on the brink of exhaustion now, because she loves the world so much, so I doubt we could squeeze in a car nap between events.

Appreciate all advice!
