Don’t over pack clothes because your always bound to buy a whole heap while away

The best travel trip tried and tested is making things a game, find the biggest of anything to stop at for photos, or play games inside the car – go A-Z – movies; fruit/veges; animals; songs; girls names; boys names; etc. If you can make it fun with time outs for music time and sleep time the experience of traveling to and from then also becomes a family memory treasured by all.

Ive learnt to travel lightly, just a couple of changes of clothes/underwear toothbrush and a toy. I always love to seek out the local Op shops if we need something and at a fraction of the price bought new.

Having recently flown to Hawaii with a 2 year old, my number one travel tip is to bring pull-up nappies for any long haul flights. The change tables in the toilets are cramped to say the least and it is almost impossible to change a toddler on one of them – basically no room for them to lie down on them! Being able to stand them up and pull on a nappy would have been so much easier (and less traumatic for my son too)!

My tip for survival is definitely hire an ipad if possible point to the wonderful scenery outside the aeroplane window and just talk about the exciting things we are going to do together as a family.

The best idea that made my travels bearable and fun for all of us with my kids was:

Teaching my kids to read the time on a kids clock that we would literally take with us on our daily outings so they could see how long we had to go until it was snack time then lunchtime then playtime at a park. This way they could accept our sightseeing or shopping hour as they were the ‘time monitors in charge’.
It gives kids a much clearer idea of time frames if the days are fairly broken down into shorter periods of a grown up activity followed by a kids activity. Everyone feels they got something they enjoyed & the kids don’t have a meltdown not knowing what’s happening next!!! Please try it….

Bring back up! I travel with Grandma (or Grandma AND Grandpa) so she can take one child or both with her, or one can stay with me (Go with Grandpa). Always carry snacks- my kids are always always hungry.
