Tax Time and Travel Questions!!!

I am excited about tax time because with any luck, we will get a refund that we will in turn use to buy our tickets for Romania! We are going this summer and I have been waiting for tax time since well, the end of December! :-) I have started our taxes and thus far it does look as if we definitely will get back enough money to buy our plane tickets so that is a huge relief. Now I just have to get our taxes officially filed and start teh waiting process for the refund. At that point, we hope to still be able to get a deal on tickets for July! I know it seems early but trust me, the ticket prices have already went up since a few months ago.

Does anyone have any advice on packing (must have supplies) and new regulations on baggage size/weight and what you can and can't take on the plane or even in regular luggage. It has been 7 years since we went to Romania and it has been 4 years since I have flown at all (Went to California for work at that time). I am very excited to travel once again, yet nervous!

Another question...any advice or secrets on what to take with a 2 1/2 year old that will be 3 at the time of travel??????? This is something I have zero experience with!!! :-)

I may have more travel questions to come, I hope someone out there is a seasoned traveler to answer my questions..I am sure there are others that could benefit from your responses as well! Thank you in advance!

LAST ONE! I knew I had one more! Anyone out there have a favorite store for buying travel clothes, etc...??? I found (through a lady at work) travelsmith.com ! Fabulous clothes and very packable! I am curious if there are more stores like this out there, net or otherwise!

I read that some airlines are charging money ($25)for a second piece of luggage per passenger...Also, another airline is charging for every piece of luggage. It's to "keep costs down."

For the little one, we always played cards, brought books/pencils and purchased snax for our kids. It's not easy, but it helped.
