Am I crazy for considering it?
IMO that's a high speed megatantrum waiting to happen. Her body clock and her understanding of time can't handle that big a jump and return without big problems. My experience with taking a 3 yr old SFO - Europe was it took at least 72 hours for him to adjust, and the first 2 days he was dragging, not happy.

I guess to sum up I'd say that long-haul for a long weekend is not fair to the child.
