There are times when you want to get away, and plan a trip for just the two of you. But when it is family time, planning a trip can be just as enjoyable. Traveling with children opens their eyes to new knowledge and discovery, and can go a long way in improving their school grades. Young cruisers also get the experience - and the
cruise points - that most adult cruisers strive to achieve - they will have reached a higher status by the time they reach 18 than most of us.
When traveling with children, be prepared by bringing:
- Band-Aids
- antiseptic hand gel
- small tissue packs
- sunscreen
- Physician phone numbers
- Tylenol - children’s & adults
- a rubber door stop can provide extra security for a hotel room door
- small plug-in nightlight - to help find the bathroom in the middle of the night
To prevent boredom, include:
- crayons
- pencils/erasers
- highlighter - good for word searches
- paper
- deck of cards
- zip lock bags (collecting shells, storing food, wet clothes)
Other important things for travel uses:
- sun glasses
- hats/visors
- lightweight wind breaker
- umbrella
- camera with extra batteries and memory cards
- keep a photo of your child in your wallet – in case you lose them in a crowed area
- extra copy of birth certificates, photo ID, travel reservations, airline tickets
With these pointers in mind, you would never miss the thrill and fun of
vacationing as a family. When it is time to plan your next family vacation, contact us at
