Here some of our tips 

 

Things I learned from the first plane ride 

Straw cup + plane = water show

Mommy Clip is the best thing ever

Plane tray tables don?t always work with Car seats

I know you have to pack a lot for kids but if your kid isnot a supper peeer don?t pack a full package of diaper (we only used 6 diapersfor our whole trip)

How much Milk could one kid really drink in a 2.5 hourflight (once again I over packed a lot thinking he would want 2 full 8oz cups?ya due to sleepy time he only used 2 the whole trip)

Due to the TVs he didn?t us many of his toys (but I thinkthat would had been different if his tray table could had been flat

Kid on ?leash? = must have

Think what your kid eats every day & pack for that butoverdue it

Car seat attached to rolling carry on is great just don?tmake any sharp turns or let it slip out of your hand (baby could go for a ride)? just so you all now my son was not harmed at all when I did this he thoughtit was a game? silly little boy

Don?t trust SID to work (or any other DVD for that matter) tochill a kid out.

I feel so alone without wireless on my computer J Iam so thankful I have it on my phone

Talk to your kid about what you will see at the airport Butalso what you will do when you get there (something I forgot to do)

If traveling alone find ways so that your child will notmiss their other parents (pre recorded Voice mails work great)

Don?t plan on getting sleep (just think back to the new borndays when you were lucky to get a hour)

 

  Things I have learnedon our first fill day

If vacationing with others get to your location a day early.The ?travel? day is really hard and can throw your sweet little one in to a monster.

Always carry wipes, you never know when you (or someoneelse) will need them.

Bring 2 Canvas boxes to put all the toys/books & diaperchange stuff in for the hotel (make sure that it can fold flat for travel)

Have toys that can double as bath toys

 

Tips of the day (weddingday)

Bring a full bib (from ikea) as it will over their wholeoutfit so you don?t have to worry about getting stains.

TV on Cell Phones is a God Send when you need to spend a lotof time in the car with a kid fighting sleep

Try the local coffee shops over the chain ones as theysometimes have WAY better kind

When gathering with others and wonder if you should take aphoto ? that moment will not happen again

 

Things I learnedtoday beach day

Beach + stroller don?t mix

If visiting a very hilly area think about bring one of thosekids backpack instead of a stroller (but they are making my arms looks good)

Always make sure all batteries are charged in your camera

 Sand dollars shouldnever be put in a diaper bag as they will turn to dust

Packing to go home is a lot easier then packing to come

Cute PJs can make a trip fun for kids

Always use Sun Screen when ?beach? is part of your day

Always send a post card home from where ever you are staying

 

Travel Tips of the day

Bring PJs for the last flight if you are flying at night

Always have milk for your little ones to eat

Have a snack for you packed

Change diaper right before boarding
