Ok. So it looks like we are going to Cancun and using our neighbor's timeshare. We don't plan on leaving the resort. I'm a little nervous about the water situation :( it's a very nice resort and our neighbors go there all the time but DH, my dad, and I all got sick and the same resort years ago.....

A is getting her own seat in the plane, we are bringing our b agile with us. I got her sunglasses, sunblock, a full body bathing suit, and swim diapers. I'm bringing fruit pouches from Earths Best and puffs to snack on. I'm also bringing her take n toss cups. I think I want to bring her PnP because I'm a little skeeved about hotel cribs.

Any tips for us? Thanks ladies!

ETA: how did you handle time changes? It's just one hour, so I'm assuming just stick with the actual time for our schedule.

    One of the things I've heard a lot about Mexico is to watch out for the fruit. They are usually good about making sure the water source is safe, but they might rinse apples in unfiltered water. So I was advised not to eat any fresh frui that doesn't have a removable peel, so stick to oranges and bananas for example.
    Make sure you have whatever you need for usual bedtime routine. Some sort of white noise machine really helps E sleep away from home.
    I probably wouldn't worry about the time and go off of your usual schedule. It's too hard to change it then change it back.
    I'm jealous of your vacation! I need one so badly. Have fun and be safe!

    @TJ1979 thanks for the tips! You are welcome to join us ;) I bet A and E would have a great time playing!

    @Mayzie15 thank you! Have you flown with your PnP? If you did, did you put it in a bag? Or just the zip up one it came with?

    I've only traveled with our PNP in the car not on a plane - I think in the bag should be okay. Does it count as a carry on? Or a bag?

    I'm not sure I'd want to deal with it as carry on! ;) My dad has a golf club 'suitcase' that I think would work very nicely. I'm going to check that out this week. I feel like with all the damage they do to luggage, the PnP would get bent or ripped :(
