My husband and I are flying to Hawaii for his cousins wedding next weekend and we are leaving our two young boys with my parents. We live on the east coast so the time change and long flights (with layovers) would be too much for them. I am extremely anxious, I just need to land on the island and I know I will feel better but the lead up to the trip is crippling me with anxiety, mainly due to fear of my husband and I not coming home to our boys. I know flying is safe but this is a brand new type of anxiety since becoming a parent! Have any other parents traveled this far without their kids with their partner and what helped?!
