I guess now that I have a little more perspective on it I should thank her for not throwing me out the back of the plane ;) Tom Kellys last blog post..<a href="http://www.crmreviews.net/customer-relationship-management/getting-crm-ready" rel="nofollow">Getting CRM Ready</a> My Mother did the same thing with 4 kids (one a baby) coming from Germany when I was 6.

For what it's worth, my husband rented a house on his own for us, and I was so nervous about it because he took the first one he saw! Luckily, he did a great job, and we were very happy there for three years. Lots of luck with your move!!

I dread flights with the kids, too. Haven't been on one in a long time, and not even with all three. I was on a flight with David and Sofia when they were very small but it was only three hours. They did ok and something that helped immensely was buying brand new toys that they had never seen before we got on the flight. You could buy several small toy and activity type things and take them out of your bag just as they begin to get antsy. When they get bored with one, take out another. It will definitely buy you some quiet time, or at the very least some time when they aren't crying! Of course then they will anticipate new toys for the next several weeks and not understand that it was just a one time deal!</p> Well the US will be a better place for having you in it, Ella!

I was pregnant with number 3 and hubby came househunting with a video camera that I tehn watched on his return with all the possibilities... There was lots of 'Why the hell would you even think that was ok?' type issues. Most rentals here now should have websites and maybe virtual tours..... Re flights - the one UK to US is hardest as its during the day time. Babies will sleep - its the others its harder for... movies on the plane - iPods/Nintendos for older ones are good.... and make sure you order kids meals for them. Some suggest Benedryl / Pirotin (?) to make kids drowsy but I have also heard that it can make them hyper..... At least CA is a good place to be - we used to be in San Diego.

I would hate to have to leave it to my husband but I agree the alternative is worse.
