Here's to new beginnings!

I feel like I should give some kind of introduction... instead of just jumping in to traveling with an infant. 

So I guess a bit of background is in order!

My husband is US military and is currently stationed overseas. I love the experience of living abroad and visiting new places, trying new foods and just seeing what the world has to offer. 

We were always planning on having kids. One of the questions I got most often was "How are you going to travel with a baby?" My response was usually a blank look followed by "I don't know, a plane? or a car? It depends on where we're going."

I didn't realize that you're not supposed to keep traveling with a baby/infant. 

Hmmm.... 

I don't like that. 

Cue Google search for tips and tricks for traveling with babies. Ok, ok, I get it. If we're flying, give a pacifier/bottle/boob or whatever helps the baby suck to relieve pressure. Then what? What's good on the plane? Should I spring for the babies own seat? Bring a carrier? Does she get her own checked luggage AND a carry on? What about where to change diapers? How do I get the seat with the baby bassinet for longer flights?

The questions go on and on... and I'm still trying to find some answers. 

Sunshine is now 3 months and 12 days. We're going to be visiting Dublin (through Ryanair) next week and flying back to the States (through Lufthansa by United) two weeks after that.

We'll see how this adventure goes!
