When you plan the trip, make sure to leave room for spontaneity and a change of plans along the way. It’s always better to be prepared, but travel is all about being adaptable too. Build downtime into your itinerary so that you have some lazy mornings to sleep in or afternoons where you can spend poolside.
1
Try not to pack at the last minute when traveling with kids! It is a good idea to pull out your luggage at least a week before departure and do an initial pack of everything you think you will need.
2
Pack snacks for children that are easy to transport to avoid messing or create a massive mess in your carry-on bag. Be sure to pack plenty of refillable water bottles as well for extra hydration during long flights and drives.
3
Many different entertainment apps now have options for downloading like Netflix, Prime, and Disney+, so take advantage of them and be sure you have enough space available.
4
If traveling with kids, be sure to bring coloring books and crayons. There are many different travel-friendly options now that do not take up too much space in your luggage.
5
While it may seem tempting to pack many toys to keep your kids entertained while traveling, you should avoid doing this. Often, kids get bored of toys, and you will end up just lugging them around from place to place.
