We didn't try to manipulate her sleep schedule before the trip. Once we got here, we also just followed her sleep sues and let her sleep when she needed to sleep. She did incredibly well. She was really pumped up when she got here, but she pretty much slept when we did for the first few days, and I think she got over the jet lag even faster than her dad and me. She is not sleeping as well as she did at home, but that only means that she wakes up in the night (she sleeps through soundly at home), but that may be because she is sharing a room with us. She sleeps in her own room at home because she is a light sleeper and our nighttime sounds wake her. We'll see what happens when we get home, but I am hopeful that she will bounce back faster than us. We are currently on the West Coast — from Germany — and so far, the change has been fine.

When we go back to the States, I try to keep him up a little later every night for the week before the trip, then when we get there, I make sure he's out in the daylight as much as possible, and then just let him sleep when he's tired. Nothing's worse than a cranky, sleepy toddler! Coming back is pretty much the same but in reverse. If it was a short trip though, I would probably do the same thing you did.
