Well, we took my D to Germany when she was 17 months (my one and only trip out of the country). I had a stroller that converted to a car seat and was FAA approved for air travel. I loaned it to so many different moms in my moms club that by the time I passed it on to the next family it had stickers from 6 other countries on it. Or you could get the Go-Go trolley thing that attaches to the suitcase for hauling the car seat. Or you could take a simple 2-3 day car trip. Or you could take a chance on someone who's not a sure yes and invite them to share the trip with you.

The point is to say yes to things you can do on your own and not make difficulties for yourself by waiting on invisible others to make them possible. It's not that tricky. You just have to decide that you can and you will, accept that there will be hard parts but they will be worth it. Then go do it.

She believed she could, so she did.
