I tried to make it happen, but no such luck. We have a trip planned a
trip from 1H0 to KDTS to let my little one (almost 3) experience a
real beach (as opposed to the sandbox out back). I tried to work out
a side trip to Lakeland, but I couldn't make it work. At 120kts its
2.5 hours each way (unless I cut the corner, overwater, something not
in my personal risk tolerance). Which means an overnight there, plus
nap issues for my daughter, etc.

Not an issue, she will sleep while you fly.
My 14 year old is alseep within 20 minutes of liftoff and doesn't awaken
until I pull the power back for descent.


Yeah I went with that argument for the first 2 years of her life and
flying. When she hit 2 though her sleep patterns were much more in
line with, which nap could I take that would be most disruptive to my
parents?

The last 2 hour flight we took to Chicago she was so tired but fought
sleeping. She finally nodded off when intercepted the ILS into KPWK.

It was more the issue of my wife having to walk around all those
"boring airplanes".

But hey, we'll be there a week, maybe I could still convince her.
