Oh my! I'm afraid I have no advice. I've never left KS for more than one night. But even then, I either left her with my parents whom I trust or at a local babysitter. I always take her bed, her blanket, a few of her toys, and a shirt with my scent on it. I think it's more stressful for me than her. She thinks it's a little vacation. I think the idea of calling or FaceTime, or even Skype is a great idea. I know KS knows when I'm on the phone calling to check. Mom says she jumps right up and looks at the phone. Idk if she understands what I'm saying but I did talk to her. I wish you and Lola the best! I'm sure she will do just fine. Y'all have a wonderful, safe trip.
