Hey mate,

When we were in the UK in October I found the same thing with DD. There were days where the poor wee sausage didn't get any naps at all and wasn't getting to bed until 9.30pm - she was 6.5 months at the time. I stressed quite a lot about it and looking back she was actually fine.

Is he cranky at all? Or does he seem quite happy? I know that you're saying he is taking a bit more time to settle and like you say, that could just be because he is excited about being in a new place - maybe instead of taking the 1.5 hours to settle him, just keep him up a bit later?

What we did some days was just have quiet days. Not too much going on, keeping things low key etc. I don't know if that is a possibility for you?

Sorry I haven't been much help but I found that things pretty much went back to normal when we got home and I just went with the flow when we were away.
