Plan a head

If I need to find the single most important advice I can give parents traveling with kids for the first few time I’ll go with – PLAN A HEAD.

When we were young, we could easily jump into the car and start driving toward our vacation and finding the hotel when we go to the destination. This does not work when you have kids.

As you are bothered with taking care of the kids and other issue, you should do all the possible preparation at home. This include: Flights, Hotel reservation, Car reservation, and a general travel plan. The travel plan should not be detailed as it is probably go to change as the trip progress.

On the other hand, make sure to keep your plan flexible and do not over-plan. You usually do need to plan the restaurants and meal times as it will depend on the mood and activities done during the trip.
