Even with gas prices being what they are, a long car trip is still less expensive that 2 seats on a plane. <STRONG>And yes; if you choose to fly, please buy the second seat.</STRONG> He will not want to be in your lap the whole time, and you won’t want him to be, either. Do you have a portable DVD player? If so, and if he likes those baby shows like Little Einsteins, this trip is a good time to let him watch more TV than you’d normally feel comfortable with.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://travelingmamas.com/2008/10/17/your-questions-answered-plane-or-car-for-travels-with-baby/"><P>Something else to consider is what you’d take with you.
