The holidays will soon be upon us and the travel season is just around the corner! Whether you are taking a train, plane or automobile, getting there should be fun. No one said traveling with children is easy, but here are some ways to lessen your fears.
First start with the usual suspects: Nintendo DS, respective games, DVD player, DVD movies and AC car adapters. Then bring along some travel games such as magnetic travel Tangoes. Also, start a scavenger hunt and create a list of items for kids to watch out for during the trip. Bring along some Mad Libs and get those brain cells working. These are fun and educational alternatives to those ubiquitous Mario games.
All of this amusement will make the kids hungry, so keep a well-stocked cooler of drinks and snacks. Sooner or later, you’ll have to stop at a rest area. Any public restroom whether at the airport, on the airplane, or at any restaurant is just full of germs. Buy toilet cover seats at Babies 'R Us or Buy Buy Baby (they're much thicker than those that some bathrooms supply for free...if there's any left when you need one) and keep them in your carry-on or pocketbook.
Being prepared will certainly make time pass and hopefully keep your children from asking that dreaded question…"Are we there yet?"
