Don't get too jealous - for us these trips are an adventure on a whole other level! Not much R&R for mom and dad when you have two little kids to chase around. I'm hoping my youngest will be out of diapers by the time we go on the next trip. I probably wouldn't choose to put ourselves through it if it wasn't the only time the kids get to see their step-cousins and about the only time they see their grandparents.

Going anywhere with under 5yos is my idea of a good horror film script. Am I glad mine are older! But I am looking forward to grandkids anyway ...but not too soon!
