    How did you find the drive after all that flying?
    To be honest, I was that excited (it was my first trip back for 10 years) that I was driving on adrenaline!

    I was a Sunday morning, so nice and peaceful on the roads.

    And I searched for Radio 1 on the hire car & realised I had grown up in my radio choices, then found Radio 2 and a cheesy DJ I recognised and all was well, LOL!

    I hope you have a great time............you're brave....we considered doing the trip for this Christmas....Olivia 3, Charlie 2 and Lexie 1........decided against it for sanities sake!

    Hi Julie

    We did longhaul from Perth to Hawaii when Gabriella was 18 months old - she was fine and slept in 1-2 hour bursts. Truthfully I cant remember it beinga harrowing experience but that may be because I have blocked it out from my memory!

    We are headed to Europe ourselves in 2 weeks time with 2 children. I have also bought Brauers and keep meaning to try it on Alex before we leave but havent yet - he is a very very very active monster oops child so I am dreading how the people around us are going to cope with his constant movements. I am hoping to get him addicted to tv (hehehe ) before we leave but at the moment he is not interested at all.

    When we fly into Milan we are picking up our hire car and doinga 4 hour drive staright away and then an all day drive the next day to Croatia - I suspect that when we first get in the car both children will be having a good sleep.

    Good luck with it all, I dont think I have really answered any of your questions tho have I -oops.
