HELP! Going to EY with 3 little kids and no experience!

Ashrei

Some of you davened for our son who recently had an operation (which was successful!). Thank you. Smile

Also, in his interest, we decided to take him to Israel for brachos, to daven for him at the kosel, and tap into other spiritual means for his refuah.

We bought tickets.

BUT... we have no family or solid resources there, and no clue how to get around. We're worried about being taken advantage of financially, as well as driving the wrong way into some Arab Village... that kind of thing.

We need: an apartment (w/2 cribs) somewhere centrally located, would like to go to kever rochel, chevron, the kosel, rabbies in ge'ula and b'nei brak
a good driving map, so we can know where ge'ula and b'nei brak actually are (we can get an idea on google maps)
a car and car seats

So:
About how much is reasonable for an apartment for 10 days?
Will I get 2 cribs? How does this work?
Where's a good location with such an apartment?
Where do we start, as far as booking one?
Any warnings?

Any tips on getting around? Renting a car w/car seats?

Any other advice? I'll keep an eye on my PMs... Thanks in advance!
