18 TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH KIDS

 

1. Check the status of your children's immunizations: www.cdc.gov/travel/child_travel.htm
2. Take along books, coloring books and markers, a Walkman/Discman with stories and song tapes, electronic games and small board games
3. For small children, bring their favorite snuggly toy, blanket or pillow
4. Sunscreen Pretest any product before traveling
5. Hat with brim
6. Sunglasses critical for most outdoor activities
7. Protective sun suit/dive skin -The best solution going www.hendersonusa.com
8. Benadryl kids formula
9. Bug repellent -Use a kids formula and pretest it for skin reactions before you leave www.bfzee-usa.com
10. Anti-diarrheal (for kids) - prevents dehydration, discomfort etc.
11. Small, refillable spill-resistant drink containers - Keeping kids hydrated in the tropics is extremely important. Keeping their drinks off you is an added benefit. Great for airline drinks, too.
12. Inflatable pool toys - Theses require very little luggage space but deliver big entertainment value. Bring extras; they make great icebreakers when meeting new kids.
13. Remember! Take what you need with you. Test any new products before taking them on a trip
14. If you're preparing your own meals, as in a condo-type setting, bring some favorite items that may not be available out of the country such as macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, favorite cereals in small boxes and snacks
15. Don't forget passports or birth certificates - if traveling as a single parent you should consider having a notarized Letter Of Consent To Travel prepared prior to your departure some destinations will require this.
16. Equip each child with a well-fitting mask, snorkel and fins www.ScubaPro.com
17. Stick to normal meal and nap times
18. Plan family activities around your children's attention spans.

I was ready to explore. But as soon as I checked in at the Hotel Kura Hulanda, whose 65 restored buildings sit right in the middle of the Punda side of historic Willemstad, I had a thought that seldom passes through my discovery-seeking brain: I'd like to be pampered.
