Aspen - with an 18 month old and no husband
How difficult would it be to get to aspen with my daughter and no other help? I was invited to stay with friends for 4 days but it seems there are no direct flights and the travel time from new york would be 4 hours of airtime so 2 days are just travel days. Worth it?

It's only a two hour time difference, so the jet lag wouldn't be an issue for me. How much do you want to see your friends? With the shuttles (ask for a car seat) the transfer to Aspen isn't that bad. I guess for me 2 days in Aspen are better than no days. Do you travel with your daughter well? How is she on flights?

How difficult it would be to do that alone is a question only you can answer.
Myself, 18 months is a bit too young to carry across country for that time. With a four year old,maybe.
Leave the baby home with your husband and go have fun alone;-)

Rather than bringing a Nanny, leave the child home w/the Nanny. Certainly enough time. My wife nor I would have any trouble making this trip w/either of our small ones however (3 1/2 & 8 months). Shouldn't be a problem.

There is no way that you can foresee how a toddler that age will react to the change in schedule, bed, strangers, different food, etc. You could have a poor baby that will cry the entire time or be a perfect angel. I, personally, would not take the chance. It's a tricky age. I would either skip the trip or leave her at home.
