You are seriously losing your mind, but I still love you.
Take toddler meals to Club Med???? Seriously? NO. And they will have plenty of juice/milk/etc on the plane (and you can't take through security anyway but you know that). I would take some food for the plane but you can get milk/juice/etc on the plane.
And you'll want to buy stuff there so don't take too many toys. They'll have a ton of stuff in the kid's program and I am sure there is a well stocked gift shop in your resort. Plus local shops. Which will be so much more fun.
I think 2 strollers is excessive and you are now wishing you had that Orbit toddler car seat (because then you could check the toddler base/and just use the orbit stroller). How much strolling are you going to be doing? I'm guessing not very much. You're not going to museums or do much sightseeing.
ClubMed has staff that will be more than happy to do your laundry. Yes it will cost more money but seriously do you want to be wringing out your undies on your vacation? Nope. Just buy more clothes! Don't take too much. Plan on buying stuff there.
Also where did you find the Travelmate that is compatible with the Maxi Cosi? I've only seen ones that are compatible with the Britax carseats so I'm very curious!
It's called DSM IV diagnosis code 300.3: Obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some compassion, please...sniff, sniff... ;-)
Actually according to the new TSA regs: When traveling with your infant or toddler, in the absence of suspicious activity or items, greater than 3 ounces of baby formula, breast milk, or juice are permitted through the security checkpoint in reasonable quantities for the duration of your itinerary, if you perform the following:
1. Separate these items from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size and zip-top bag. 2. Declare you have the items to one of our Security Officers at the security checkpoint. 3. Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.
So I can bring more than 3 ounces if I need to just in case...like some juice boxes of Juicy Juice.
And I wasn't planning to bring both strollers! I was just trying to decide which of the two strollers to bring: the bigger but more delicate Orbit or the less cushy but sturdier Zapp that can be checked with the luggage. We've already had one Orbit base break on us so we are concerned about checking that with our luggage.
Take the Zapp if you have to take another stroller. You're not going to be spending that much time walking around. You won't need recline, etc.
I think your resort likely has strollers as well so you could use that as a backup.
Take a few Juice boxes if that makes you happier but they'll have all that stuff on board. You might wanna take a sippy cup/Siggy or something that's more familiar.
You aren't going to the wilds of an undeveloped country - it's freakin' Club Med. There job is to pamper you. ;)
You are totally cute in the picture. She is totally cute in any and all pictures. Love the smiles on both of you.
It's a vacation---RELAX. I know that is challenging for you but it will all be fine.
Where are you going to walk anyway? Ocean front room to beach. Beach to pool. Cabana boys will bring you drinks. Actually you can probably just get everything brought to you.
V v v jealous about the vino verde. You will love Portugal! Make sure to go to Sagres and Cape St Vincent. Amazing!
And I'm totally gonna steal that photo and use for my own nefarious purposes (err, child getting purposes), if I may. I'd like to use on my website on the Friends and Family page if that's cool with you.

And according to the Gogo Kidz site, the plain ol' Travelmate fits the Priori: http://www.gogobabyz.com/docs/Maxi%20Cosi%20Priori_UNIQR.pdf
I know that I'm a mess but my OCD compensates for AdoringHusband's unconcerned unprepared disorder! ;-)
