We’re probably going to be taking Kingston on his first trip to see his maternal grandparents in Hong Kong around April. Nothing confirmed yet. It’s making us a little nervous given that it’s our first trip with Kingston….16 hours for that matter. I’m already searching for tips on how we might travel if a 16month old. Got...
