Anne's advice to parents considering an overseas trip with a young child:
1. Don't be too fearful; with planning, a reasonably good-natured baby is a good traveler.
2. For a baby, take a familiar toy, but for older children, take a new toy or book or two; buy one to bring home.
3. Don't take anything round that can roll away on a plane.
4. Don't plan to read on the plane.

5. Anticipate weather needs and the availability of more food, so the baby doesn't get cold, hungry or sunburned.
6. Don't expect a baby to conform to adult schedules.
7. Don't hope for a wonderful culinary experience.
8. Ask friends for tips.
