    I would call the airline and also look at the customs restrictioins on line....or some others can help you on that . But I want to tell you to be alert when going through security as there have been incidences of things that are stolen into or out of the security machines. If you have a lot of expensive jewelry, I would pack it in a way that it will be difficult for a hand to go in and take something. If they want to inspect then it shoudl be openable only then. Keep an alert eye which may be hard with two little ones with you.

    International and domestic flights are in different terminals. You will have to pick up checked luggage and come through customs and when done there transfer to another terminal. There are luggage carts but this is going to be a bit of work to get to the next place (you have to pay for the carts so have a credit card or some money). If you have a lot of luggage and no help and babies then I would call the airline about getting someone to help you.
