 We're taking a much needed vacation to Hawaii next
 month and we're trying our best to prepare ourselves
 for the our twins firsttravel experience. We're hoping
 for the best but know it might be difficult keeping
 them occupied in their seats for 5 hours.Any advice on
 how you keep your twins busy and happy on trips would
 be much appreciated.Thank you!Elizabeth

 I started this topic on Mom's outing last Thursday and
 I have more questions about it.We have almost seven
 months old g/b twins. So far I didn't do any sleeping
 training with them. In the evening, they usually fall
 asleep between 5pm and 7pm. Then they wake up about
 every 3-4 hours during the night. We just feed them in
 the crib, sit them for burp and they go on
 sleeping.During the day, they take turns. When baby
 seems to be tired, I put her/him in the crib and let
 sleep as long as wants. In Mom's outing I was
 recommended to put them in the crib before they are
 very tired. And, more important, to put them both in
 the same time int he crib.So, let's say, they get up at
 6.30. I spend time with them and about 7.30 they start
 to seem be tired. Yawning, rubbing eyes. I put them in
 the crib at 7.45am. The girl falls asleep in 5 minutes.
 The boy crawls around the crib, then cries and finally
 falls asleep after 20-30 minutes. So far everything
 looks ok, but the girl only sleeps 30 minutes or so.
 That means in the time the boy falls asleep she start
 to wake up. The boy usually sleeps at least one hour,
 but he can stretch it up to two and half. Now what?
 Should I pick her up? Should I keep her in the crib
 until he wakes up? Should I wake him?So far it seems
 like she always sleeps 30 minutes, but she takes one or
 two naps more over the day than he does.Another
 question is what to do when we go out for longer time.
 Yesterday we went to visit our friends. Babies got one
 morning nap, around 1pm we put them in the stroller and
 went for walk to our friends. They slept in the
 stroller for a while, but were still tired when we
 arrived to our friends. We put babies in the quiet
 room, but is did seem that they have difficulty to fall
 asleep in unknown environment. They didn't fall asleep
 at all till we went home 4 hours later. I'm sure they
 were tired and they had trouble to fall asleep at home
 too. Does it mean that we can't leave our house for
 longer than two hours when they are awake? :)
