Our DS is a bit of a traveller....and definitely recommend either going before she is two (but you'd have her on your lap) to take advantage of the cheaper fair, or get a seat for her, because a 2 year old on your lap on a flight isn't exactly a comfy experience!

I think NZ would be a great destination. DH and I went to NZ before DS was around, but we did the campervan thing around and it was GREAT! Such an adventure! So down to earth and you got to see and experience so much at your own pace.

Trying to think of an Asian country which is kid friendly......hmmm......Singapore (being that I live here)....it is a pretty good asian country, but I don't find it that interesting for a toddler - unless you want to go to loads of indoor play centres!. You'd have to get around in taxis. Really - all Singapore is about is shopping....and I don't particularly consider that a drawcard...especially for a toddler!
