In Reply to: would you leave 13 & 3yo alone in room? posted by stephjoy on Thursday, 16. July 2009 at 16:18 Bali Time:
I have the same age gap with my kids, albeit boys! Having travelled over there quite a bit, this will be the 3yr olds 5th or 6th visit. I have used a babysitter a few times always arranged thru the hotel we're staying at. I am more comfortable knowing that my older son is there to keep an eye on things but I personally wouldn't leave him alone with them in a foreign country. Just my opinion.
I can't remember where you're staying but at most hotels we've stayed at it's either been the girls at the B/F coffee shop or the kids club that have been the babysitter. : )
