Thinking to take a trip with my baby when she’s 3.5 months old. Just to get out of the cold. Bad idea?

This is by far the best time to travel with a kid. They poop, eat, and sleep. That’s it. No screaming toddlers, no tantrums, and no whining. We took ours everywhere at that age - the caribbean, transcontinental, Europe. In hindsight I wish we had traveled even more.

Just remember to feed your little one during takeoff (start just as you roll down the runway) and landing as their ears are still sensitive to the pressure change.

For when they are older:
- The Pockit stroller was amazing for us. Folds to the size of a small tote bag so you can take it on the plane.
- We bought an extra ticket and brought our car seat on long haul flights until our little ones were 4, it helped them sleep. We figured out how to attach the car seat arm straps around our rolling carry on so we didn’t have to carry it by hand.
- Don’t let other parents shame you on screen time, an iPad is a life saver
- Snacks, snacks and more snacks. A well fed kid is a happy kid.

Do it. Why not? Young babies are just hungry accessories that have occasional difficulty sleeping. We went to Ireland with our 6 month old. Our friends just toured Italy with their 3 month old. You’ll realize how easy travel with a baby is once you have a toddler.

Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.

Question: I have a client who started a restaurant. He leased the land and bought shipping containers where he spent money contracting out to turn them into bars. I’m having a tough time determining how to depreciate this! First thought was leasehold but he’s not making improvements to a structure...he owns the structure! But nonresidential real estate at 27.5 years doesn’t make sense either as it’s not a brick and mortar building. Curious on others thoughts! TIA
