I second this 100%. If it's your first child you have no
idea how easy it is to travel until you have the next one
or travel with this child when he or she is 2 and you
have to bring diapers, munchie food, toys, etc etc.
Take the baby and enjoy every minute. Traveling with
kids of any age is fun, the arrangements, challenges and
joys just change as they get older.

When my daughter was 3 months (she's now 16)we took a trip
to Italy and Israel. She lived in the snugli (before they
had slings) and while my husband was at a conference I got
to see the sights of Italy. We were both happy comfortable
and everyone else loved cooing at her and playing with her.

Hope they have a great trip.
