    Foreign trip with a baby

    I would recommend Portugal, south spain, Ibiza or Majorca. I have a 2 year old now and have travelled to canaries and ibiza with her. Basically the pain is the flight as under 2 years old and they are sitting on your knee. Canaries and greek islands (for example) are a 4 to 4.5 hour flights and...
