Don't forget to account for baby jetlag.

Many years ago we took our daughter who was 11 months old at the time from Seattle to Europe. Getting her to sleep was awful. She refused to go to sleep before 10pm. But since that was 1pm back home, she thought it was nap time. She'd wake back up at 2am and stay awake for several hours, finally falling asleep after breakfast. It was exhausting. Took her 5 days until she finally was on some semblance of local time.

On the way back, we missed a connection and had to spend a night in DC, which actually helped things workout a little bit better in terms of the baby jetlag.
