Travelling with young kids - yes or no?

AMy aim was to have one post a day for my blog and I'm really disappointed that I have failed to achieve that :(

I was going to allocate one hour in Singapore to write the blog (where we spent the last 11 days holidaying)... Unfortunately the first 5 days we were looking after Oscar, who had a high fever pretty much every day and night.. After 3 days we took him to the International Clinic and they told us it is viral and it should go away soon.. After another 2 days and almost 40 degrees fever we took the poor bugger to another doctor (recommended by our friends). The doctor told us that it is an infection as the virus doesn't last that long... Bronchitis was the diagnose..... After the first dose of antibiotic we could see the difference and on the second day Oscar was like 'brand new'...

Anyway balance didn't look that great - 5 days of holidays we couldn't really go anywhere and we were exhausted from the nights and also extremely worried.... We had this great plan to do a lot of water activities, which was now out of the picture due to Oscar's condition.. But we could still do other things like we went to China Town, we did River Safari, explored the Botanic Garden and of course shopping...  I have to say I was amazed by the exclusive shops for kids they have in Singapore - Gucci, Dolce& Gabbana, Ferrari etc,,, polo t- shirt only $160, and the jacket $1k... llittle Gucci shoes for pre-walking baby only $260, $480 for toddler' shoes ...It seems that my Gucio shoes are total bargain :) 

After those days I was mentally not ready to even think about Gucios, about writing the blog etc... so I just left it..
​
The question remains,,, travel or not to travel with little kids? Travel my friends.. yes we 'lost' 5 days, $600 in doctor's bills and few grey hair, but overall we really enjoyed the break, and we managed to get some rest,,,, we really did. We were staying with our friends in a beautiful house in Sentosa Cove, we even managed to go out for dinner without the baby (how good is that??)

My 3rd time in Singapore and I know it won't be the last...

Good night
