Travel tips

Lessons learned from this weekend's trip to Minneapolis:

* even if the baby feels warm enough, her face will probably get chapped outdoors when it is below freezing all the time

* if you suspect she will need a swing in order to sleep properly, deal with it ahead of time rather than slogging through 24 hours of fussing and bad sleep before hitting Craig's List to get a used swing

* pick a nursing spot before you go to bed and learn where all the light switches are so you're not stumbling down unfamiliar stairs with a squirmy baby in the dark

* lace-up boots are hard enough at the airport security line, but even more difficult when you're wearing the baby in a sling

* pre-boarding the airplane rocks!
