Can 1 adult fly with 3 children?
YES, you can fly with 3 children.
1 Adult cannot fly with more than 2 infants though.
I have just booked a long haul flight from London to Melbourne with Singapore Airlines and I have children aged 6, 4 and 1 (please feel sorry for me as I am traveling alone with the children....AGH!!!)
I am able to travel with the three children but was told if I had 2 infants (under 2) that I would not be permitted to travel unless another adult was with us. They explained this was because children under 2 need to sit on a lap for take-off and landing....seems reasonable, I suppose (unless of course you are the parent of twins needing to fly).

Tourism leaps and distortions: continuing growth in tourist flows as a source of environmental damage is facing new challenges worldwide. In the course of the globalization of economies and societies, tourism is also showing many indicators of development leaps and distortions: continuing growth in tourist flows as a source of environmental damage, new destinations and markets, with resulting increase in competition, risk of overcapacity, particularly in the key tourist areas of air traffic and accommodation, polarization and increased trend towards concentration among industry providers. There is also the expectation of growth in "man-made" travel and adventure environments worldwide and major expansion in tourist offerings and infrastructures (mega-events, leisure parks, transport systems) – with uncertain economic, social and ecological prospects. The growth rates predicted for tourism and its anticipated continuing expansion, with the associated potential for employment and macroeconomic welfare effects are, however, dependent on specific conditions, such as a growing world economy, low energy prices and a global decline in conflicts. The frameworks for and trends in tourism Globalization of the world economy The world economy is characterized by internationalization and globalization. So far, the dismantling of borders to production and trade has been concentrated on the group of developed countries in the OECD. This situation has been unaffected by the emergence of a number of Asian NICs. Within the OECD, trade is highly regionalized. Besides the international trading and production networks, regional ones are also emerging. Regional integration processes of this kind will probably continue and develop into free trade zones of increasing Tourism is facing new challenges worldwide.

What is better flying or driving to Florida?
Well. If you like a nice slow ride, easy paced, trip with a great view that is very relaxing. Then you would enjoy the train ride.

Can we take clothes iron in hand carry?
It is probably inadvisable to try.
Clothes iron isn't featured explicitly on the TSA, BAA or CATSA lists of allowed and prohibited items, so it would be at the discretion of the airport security supervisor on duty. Most "tools" including things like hammers are prohibited in carry-on luggage and they do tend to err on the side of caution. A travel iron would be OK, but a full-sized iron would be best in the hold luggage.

Who was the first European to cross the pacific ocean?
History does not tell us. What we do have is this:
- 6th century BCE,Euthymenes, explores the northwest coast of Africa.
- 6th century BCE, Hanno the Cartheginian, explores the west coast of Africa.
- 5th century BCE, Himilco the Cartheginian sails out of the Mediterranean and reaches the northern coast of Europe (France), following the trade routes of the Tartessians (a tribe from the southern Iberian Peninsula). Himilco is credited with discovering (or at least communicating encountering) the Saragasso Sea (North Atlantic Gyre).
- 4th century BCE, Pytheas of Massalia, explores the coast of Britain, the North Sea, and parts of Scandinavia.
- 6th century CE, Saint Brendan perhaps reaches Iceland.
- 9th century CE, Naddodur, settled Iceland.
- 9th century, CE, KhashkhÄsh ibn Sa`Ä«d ibn Aswad, Atlantic Ocean and parts unknown -- Although it is not a popular theory,KhashkhÄsh ibn Sa`Ä«d ibn Aswad may have been the first Old World explorer to have reached the New World across the Atlantic.*
- 10th century CE, Erik Thorvaldsson (Erik the Red), reaches Iceland, and Greenland.
- 10th century CE, Ibn Farrukh, lands on the Canary Islands.
- 11th Century CE, Lief Ericson, reaches Newfoundland, and perhaps present day Maine and Massachusetts.
- 11th century CE, Thorfinn Karlsefni settled L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. His son Snorri was born there (the first European recorded to have been born in North America, perhaps all of the western hemisphere).
- 15th century CE, Columbus reaches the Caribbean.
- 16th century CE, the Spanish Conquistadors reach mainland North America.
*It is important to note that there are unproven hypotheses regarding the Egyptians and North Africans reaching the Western Hemisphere during the height of the rule of the Pharaohs. Additionally, there is strong evidence that ancestors of the Japanese and Chinese may have predated Columbus' landings in the Western Hemisphere by 100-10,000 years, and ancient Polynesians are believed to have visited the west coast of North and South America on a regular basis.
