Your post wasn't exactly helpful, not even close to accurate/applicable to our circumstances. This trip (save the flights, though when she didn't sleep she had a ball anyways) we took was the best thing we could have done for our daughter's development.
You should definately not choose a career as a profiler. While I may be a 'good ol' American' , I consider that a badge of honor and not how you tried to portray it.
Exactly what sort of American are you?
My family is spread throughout several states - Monday morning I ran into a cousin at IAH who had just flown in from LAX on a red eye. Most of the time, around the holidays - they all fly to our town, but we do get out occasionally and return the favor. This weekend I am driving my family to Florida for a week long vacation. It's a one day drive, not so bad - but we also just bought a brand new SUV with Sirius satellite radio and the kids have games and books.
As far as the "horrors of the outside world", I'm not sure what you are talking about - do you mean the discomfort that an infant experiences when the changes in air pressure begin to affect them? Or do you mean the "horrors" that lie just outside the village wall?
