How does your baby cope with going away on holidays?

Some babies aren't phased by going away on holidays at all - as long as they have mum, something to eat and a clean nappy they're happy anywhere. Some kids find being away stressful and distruptive making the idea of a relaxing break go out the window...

How does your baby cope with being away from home? Are sleeping, eating and behavioural habits affected at all? Do you find holidays with your kids relaxing or is it just easier to stay home?

Ambient Noise to Help Baby Sleep
If your house is not very quiet, an "ambient noise" CD can work wonders to let baby sleep better during the day and even at night. We use one that has a heartbeat and music ("Baby Sleep Now") and also one that is just a recording of frogs croaking. The noise covers dishes clinking, airplanes, dogs barking, etc. For nighttime, just hit the repeat button.
