When we did the Greek islands cruise the time change worked out perfectly.

Going there, I don’t know how, but our kids slept better than they have ever slept.

Coming back our kids were up at 2 a.m. for a week.

I would say, just remember, it’s a phase.

It’s not permanent.

So when you get frustrated, it’s not gonna stay like that forever.

Just attempt to embrace it.

Get some stuff done.

It’s a fun hour.Favorite gymnastics stunt everWatching all of Simone’s big tricks.

Her best advice for traveling with three children under 5 years old?

She also tries to not be too scheduled.

They plan accommodations but dont schedule rigid activities due to the unpredictability of traveling with children.
