    If it's a real move and not just a vacation, I wouldn't worry about it. Short trips (2 weeks or so) are harder because you want them to adjust soon so you can enjoy the trip. Just give yourself 1-2 weeks of craziness and sleep when she sleeps. Go out for

    We have been to Europe 4 times with DD (8 hour difference) and Hawaii one (3 hour difference) and to the East coast many times (2 hour diff). We really haven't had much problem at all, especially going East. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact

    My husband's job, he's an FSO so we'll be moving a lot. I loved that area around Rollins, we went to the Enzian all the time.

    My LO did great with the recent time change going to Thailand (5 hour difference). We just followed our same bedtime routine at the same local time and she slept through the night from night one! Let's hope reacclamating to home will be just as easy!
