Portugal

He was surprisingly easy to travel with, no inner ear problems on the flight or anything like that. But having traveled, he was surprisingly difficult to be with. I guess we underestimated how well we had set up things at home such that away from our domestic infrastructure we suffered. We have rediscovered this since then: to pass a night with him in anything like comfort takes three bedrooms, one for us, one for him, and then a third for him and Talia when he wakes up too early in the morning and wants frequent feedings. Also, travel inevitably means novelty, and the more new sensations and experiences the more disturbed his sleep, or so it seems to us. We arrived home more tired than we had left, and this has been the case on subsequent trips as well.
