Alright, first long cross-country coming up for me as a pilot.
Traveling up to see family for Memorial Day weekend (and hoping the
weather holds out on Friday).

Of note, I did my training in a (slow) C152, but moved up to a fuel-
injected C172 after getting my license.

Any tips to ease the flight? Good tips for fuel consumption savings?
Tips for taming my 2-year old for the flight?

Thanks!

Cough medicine is a parents best friend.

I would never do this.
Your daughter will fall asleep from the hum of the engine. If its a little
bumby that the just seems to put them a sleep faster.
Plan the trip well and have fun.
